Looking good so far, whos the maker of your lid? and what was up with the 'ears'?

[AFettFullofDollars]

Which version are you doing, RotJ or ESB? That way we can tell if the ears are incorrect.

What version would you say its more like.....i aint done the kill marks yet......my ears are gold/silver on rf side .....the other is green silver...theres that many pic's flying around....its a bit confusing.......

 

[BANDITZ]

[BANDITZ]

from that i'd say ESB

 

[BANDITZ]

What colour are the esb kill marks....yellow or orange...........the pic dont do it much justice.........still got to do the dent & cut the black back a bit... & the visor isnt fixed yet......but its a canny snug fit.....

 

[cal196]

The ESB kill marks are catapillar yellow, or an equivlant to that. Misted lightly with orange.

 

[Reverend Scapegoat]

The ESB killstripes start out yellow at the front, and fade to orange at the back.
I painted them by hand with a brush, simply adding a little more orange to the mix for each stripe.

I used Tamiya Flat Yellow XF-3, and X-6 Orange.
