I was curious about the set up for an authentic MQ-1 board in the helmet. Is it correct to just paint the board red? I mean I see if the images some have posted where it is painted red, but if some go through the trouble and cost of getting an authentic board why just paint it to blend in? Just curious?

Correct. There is a huge difference between a cast and a real mq-1 board installed. Plus people want to be as original and authentic to replicate the hero helmet as possible.

I understand being as authentic as possible (Its what we all are striving for), but looking at all the images that i’ve Seen it appears that the board is cast into the helmet it’s self. If we were trying to be that authentic wouldn’t we just get buckets that had them this way? Unless I’m wrong of course, which is entirely possible.

It wasn't cast, you can clearly see the MQ-1 board here:

Thanks for that photo. That helps clarify for me a bit. Now I can just wallow in the fact that I think it would have looked cooler with the board left natural. Oh well, my opinion doesn’t count for much on something almost 40 years past! Hahaha
