Helmet salvageable?

[Cdraudt17]

I just got my kit in the mail. It is partially trimmed and the helmet was roughly put together. 

The faceplate and visor look like they were attached a little too far forward, leaving a biting a gap. There is also a gap and a little bit of warpage there the dome is attached. I realize I will have to bondo the back seam, but is the rest salvageable for approval?

So technically you dont have to fill that cap seam for approval. As far as the face plate goes, you can take a square of abs and put it on the inside of the helmet and create a new attachment point for the face plate, this will pull it in and align it better to the dome. Definitely a salvageable helmet no doubt

Good to know! I think I’ll probably fill the gap just for my own sanity.
