Re: OOPS I did it again!!!!!!!!!! Overpainted Lufty Q64
Certainly looks better in your pics than the originals but I still don't like the thickness of the leather. I just don't have an original that looks that thick. The band and everything else looks good though and it certainly didnt belong to his helmet though.

Re: OOPS I did it again!!!!!!!!!! Overpainted Lufty Q64
HI Jason,
I'm not suggesting it is the original, but it HAS been used and someone went to some trouble at some time in the past to put new leather in.
It is thick and quite soft - not chamois like some but soft like 30 years old, not 70.
A weird thing .....?
Cheers, Dan

Yeah it's weird alright, wonder were the leather came from. You going to look for a new liner for the shell or just leave it out?

Re: OOPS I did it again!!!!!!!!!! Overpainted Lufty Q64
At this stage leave it out. I am always of two minds in putting new liners in ( not that I've ever found one that fits right )
I have a good 1943 pigskin that I could use - but then you need to find rivets that look the part .......
