Rogue One Red 12 X-Wing Helmet paint job help!

[ywingfighter]

I plan to paint another X-Wing Helmet into Red 12. Its nearly the same design than Zal Dinnes but had 2 white extra stripes and 6 yellow symbols.
I never seen this before but made a drawing about what I see.
If theres errors or what corrections I can made? More eyes see more!
All help are welcomes.

They look pretty good to me but the symbols look a little too skewed in my opinion. I see where you were going with it but I think the symbols just look that way on the helmet due to the curve and camera angle.

 

[ywingfighter]

Yes, since I have not thought of it. Will rework the drawing. Many thanks

Part of the markings on the (left) is just a scrape through the second symbol.

 

[ywingfighter]

Rework the drawing...better?

 

[division 6]

I'm seeing something more like this.

There is something in the back (or it's a scratch) on the pilots right side.
Can't really figure out what's going on with the back left side.

 

[ywingfighter]

That looks great!

The alphabet being used here is called Domabesh, though the painting of it is pretty sloppy. I can translate the portion that we can see, but it isn't enough to work out what the other symbols would be:

According to Glyn Dillon, the co-costume designer, Gareth Edwards had several new writing systems made for Rogue One. According to my research, they are known as Domabesh, Dishabesh, and Protobesh.

I feel his helmet was painted over for Zal Dinnes helmet. The Yellow stickers were removed and spray painted.

There are at least 2 other pilots with the all red like hers.

I might be a bit late to this party, but I've started to attack this design... And after a few conversations with Cal, from Far Away Creations, we kinda landed on "Joss" and "Book" - because, who knows... Maybe the costumer who slung the paint and decals on this one was a Firefly fan. Haha

Alright, I meant to post this sooner on here, but here's my finished R1 "Red 12" helmet.

Let me know what you think! Thanks everyone.
