Someone asked me about the gray stripe above the yellow one, in the scallop above the earpiece, that none of the other sources or products ever show a gray stripe.
It is there.
Here are two screen shots from ANH, clearly showing the painted on color, (not weathering or shadowing), with the gray matching the lower gray stripe. ( yellow arrows).
It looks a bit lighter here than on the helmet, but we know how the lighting and film and lens quality back then really affected how things looked, including notoriously muting colors on things, when seen in real life, are noticeably more bold than you might have realized simply from the film.
However, they apparently left out the black design from the right side, off of the left side, ( red arrows ), but I decided to keep that in, since everything else is symmetrical.
Believe me....I've gone over this....lol
