MAKING THIS HELMET:
This helmet is a modified APH Naval helmet. There are two versions: The pilot helmet and the training helmet.
Here you see my original APH naval helmet being modified (back in 1997). Essnetially this helmet is a slightly modified naval flight helmet. I restored this mold in 2012 and created a thermal formed kit version.
One of the fiberglass castings from 1997, and the mold I created that produced the chinstrap and mohawk cap.
