tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 Hey troopers. My first shadow build. Started with this BBB here. Got some rough trimming out the way All pieces cleaned and rough trimmed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 Notice the differences between the bucket that comes with the kit and the one that comes by itself. The one with the kit is a little smaller but doesn't have tube stripes or the appropriate hovi tips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motogpnut Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Notice the differences between the bucket that comes with the kit and the one that comes by itself. The one with the kit is a little smaller but doesn't have tube stripes or the appropriate hovi tips. That’s really strange, the differences in size and no tube stripes. What’s the difference between the hovi tips? I don’t think the picture is clear enough. I was looking at an Anovos shadow kit myself, but I’ve been afraid with all the issues with QC lately. It’ll be cool to see how yours goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the new ones from @ukswrath I will be adding to the kit helmet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird, they should be using the same molds regardless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weave is still too small for the higher level of approval. When in doubt you can check with the Spec Ops website.

Motogpnut Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Yeah. I can see very clearly the different in the mesh. Really looking forward to seeing you build this. Definitely want to get a shadow myself. Plus the Spec ops are just a great bunch of people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 Received some new s trim earlier I will be adding to my TX & TK. Thanks @ThayNerd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2trooper[TK] Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 Slapped the new trim in and looks good. Be careful around the teeth area of your bucket because its pretty thin there and can crack easily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
