the foam files contain less pieces for an easier build. for the piece that is "missing", it is not missing 
the files only have one side of the helmet (left or right) so that when you transfer the printed files onto foam. you then flip the printed templates upside down and that makes your opposite side. so in theory you only need one side on the helmet, to make the full helmet out of foam, seeing as you are only using the printed files as a template.
i hope i have explained this clear enough

im sorry to sound like a dick but if you didnt know that it must be your first build and i recommend that you dont start with the helmet

I have to agree with you, I started on this helmet and moved onto something simplier for my first pep. I figured I could easily do the paperwork but was concerned I'd mess it up due to inexperience when it came to the next stages....Glad I did as my Rocketeer Helmet has proven a steep learning experience!

everyone starts with the helmet. everyone ends up throwing out said helmet. start with the chest piece or the arm parts. you need alot more skill (which you will learn as you build other parts.) to make an even passable helmet. take it from one of those people that spend HOURS building my first helmet only to toss it in the trash.

I agree about the helmet thing allot of ppl won't finish if they start with the helmet althow some do. The practice on the larger pieces will help the helmet come out much better in the end.

the parts that are missing are not missing they are mirrored parts just flip the side you have over to get both sides.
Oh and watch stealths tutorials on youtube he explains it very well.

seconded, but the helmet gives motivation to build the rest of the suit, thats why they do it, and if they cant at least they have a helmet on their shelf to show off. stealth starts with the boots first since they HAVE to be scaled to your shoe. personally i start with the arms on all my builds.
