For the green lenses, get a green tinted welders shield. You can get about 2 pairs of lens cut from one of those.

Are there decals that would work with the MR CE helmet? I'd rather work with a decal than try to paint them by hand, I already know it would come out a mess.

Hi Mark,

I can make the decals for you. I have access to a 64" photo quality digital printer. I can print anything on vinyl. I would just need some sizes. Send me an email.

Are you going to repaint your bucket or do you not like the decals that are on there?

I could only think that the best way to hide all the seems properly, after filling them in, would be to completely repaint the helmet. I do like the existing decals... just not sure if they can be masked/preserved properly. I could try to do that.

I read about this site, for 'blue' tube stripes:

I'm not sure about the rest of the decals, however :?

I actually have a set of blue tube stripes that I don't need Pete. PM me your address and I'll mail them to you. Either that, or I can send them to G-Man to make some copies for everyone to have some.

Ok, currently there are no decals for the MRCE/EFX. The accurate helmet decals will not fit, but hand painting isn't that difficult. If you need the correct color grey, Michigan Toy Soldier Shop in Royal Oak carries Humbrol #5 gray which is what the movie helmet were painted with.

Also for anyone needing blue tube stripes go with Scott M. (4149). His are the correct color unlike most which are too light a blue. They are $3 shipped.

Any other questions feel free to ask.
