Is this a original HGU-20/P or a casting? Cannot tell since it is painted black (original is white)

it's a casting off an original one in fiberglass, it's not painted, I asked for black gelcoat, it does open and close I just don't have the latches to lock it. I also need the visor locks. The hinges are oem for the top, as is the clear visor and surround, got any parts???

Does anyone in this forum know some who build a replica Firefox Flight Helmet and can share pics? Where can one obtain the Soviet star decal? Separately, I am trying to find a place that offers an HGU-20/P Flight Helmet and is not expensive. Any guidance or advice is appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hello.
I appreciate that this reply is now 10 years (!) late, but, you never know. Would you possibly be able to pass on the contact details of the person who moulded the helmet shell parts for you? Or would you be willing to sell me yours? I could mould it, then return to you? I'm also in the process of making this helmet, and have slowly started to attempt to draw and scale the various parts in C.A.D. It's slow going. A definite reference such as the shell body would be a huge help.
Please contact me if you are able to assist. Thanks.

A lot has changed in 10 years. Now we can print them out. Perhaps someone has designed one in 3D.

I'm about half the way there, I modelled the helmet for my Firefox miniature, it needs a bit of refinement, but it's pretty close
It is just a thin fibreglass split shell, so it should be fairly easy to print a mould to make masters from.
Being a biker I started looking for helmet visors as donor parts as you can't easily make them out of thick enough acrylic to look right, found one that appears to be a very close match
All the hardware pieces are going to be the tricky parts of course...

I found this thread a month or so back while working on my ACES helmet build. I'm in the process of commissioning a model that should be available within the next month or so. Full disclosure Its being rendered as a VFX model so it will take some extra time and attention to convert it to a printable model. I figured you guys may be interested. If anyone has any inputs while its being finalized, I'm all ears Here is what I have so far
