ANH Stunt TK tube stripe decals

[FN1313[TK]]

Hello all, I had a question regarding approvable tube stripe decals on a helmet. Here’s a picture of the decals I see and I’m curious if each blue stripe needs to be cut out separately and put on leaving no white decal or if it’s okay to apply the whole sticker including the white space:

Hey

Those are ESB decals and not approvable for ANH so you are correct, every stripe need to be separate

Excellent thanks for the update. I plan on finding ways we can help get this trooper approved, so this was the one spot I wanted to be more specific.

The decal of the tear also looks like it's ESB or ROTJ (color and stripes).

Can it be you bought a set of ESB or ROTJ decals instead of ANH?

Yup, the squared off vertical lines on the tear are clearly meant to be ESB. Bummer, they're actually harder decals to find, so a shame to waste! ANH need to be hand painted or decals to resemble hand painted... no squared off lines and no material between those tube stripes (remember to keep em a #2 pencil's width from the cheek and on the correct side as well, check the swoop!). I've found black pinstripe tape to be very helpful when doing the ear bump outlines if you don't handpaint.

The teeth aren't painted yet, so painting them black makes it a ESB helmet!

Thanks all for the help, yeah I’ve shared this information with the owner so they can know where to go from there. They likely bought a set of decals and didn’t realize there were tons of differences worth noting.

Teeth are painted if you look closely.

If going for Centurion the lower ear screw is also incorrect, should be a V-head

• Ear screws shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk and painted white.

I had to look twice to see that , but you're right!

Looked like shade to me.
