Its seems the tube is also wrong on the SDS as well as the bottom of the face:

I'd just like to point out that AA told me that he has a professional vacuum former,so pulling the ABS would not be a problem.Even if it was a home made former,it would still pull under the chin more than on AA's helmets compared to a screen used helmet.
The area under the chin is not caused by webbing.It has been clearly modified to help with releasing the pull.As you can imagine,the face plate is a SOB to release from the mould due to it's complex shape....
Carry on

Show the bottom of the helmet. It has no flare on the undercut. That brow trim on the bottom makes it look flared.
It is definately different than the stunt face though because it doesnt have the 2 extra holes on the frown area.
The SDS Tie helmet is really nice overall, the Flare is terrible though. I just wish that wasnt on the SDS helmets. That to me is the worst part about the SDS overall. I can kind of live with the messed up back and the ears if i had too, but the flare... ruins the face for me. It makes the chin look too bulky from the front and from the side it looks just off.
Still.. Overall the SDS tie is quite nice. Dare i say i even like the new mohawk visually than older one But the die hard fan in me says.. it aint an exact original.
Now the trooper is a differen tthing all together. It burns me that its not right. Its nice but... not right. I love my SDS helmet though. Thank you AA.

Here's an interesting photo of the same original helmet which shows just how far forward the face section was angled, leaving a gap on its left hand side. It also seems to show the undercut angled down quite a bit too (though not as much as my SDS) - suggesting perhaps it was always a problem getting the helmets off the moulds.
