Hey Team,
I recently was asked to send pictures to another member of a side by side comparison of my GMH helmet and my FPH2 ESB helmet. I figured I already took the pictures so I may as well upload them here for others to view. I understand that The GMH being fully painted and the FPH2 not, may not aid very well in the visual comparison so when I finish the FPH2 I will upload more photos.

wondering why your FPH2 gap in the middle gets wider?

actually it looks like they both do, probably the picture itself.

It looks like the visor is pushing out the mandible tips at the bottom

Good eye Wasteland! You are correct and it is not just the picture. The visor is not fully installed on either of them. I am waiting until they are both fully finished, interior and exterior, before I finish connecting the visor at the bottom mandible portion. When I do this it should bring the mandibles back together at the bottom and it will be straight.

Cool tip thanks! I think I'm going to go a different route though. I don't want something going fully across the visor so that if the light hit it just right you could see there was something there. Just me though, it's a smart idea.
