**Additional Comments*

--> First of all the weathering matches the visual reference quite better and is fine!

But our CS noticed (and I missed this issue. Sorry for that!!!). You used an old backpack Setup which is no longerup to SWAT Standards anymore. The current SWAT packs require the correct Karrimor frame (or an adequate replica like the one from Michael Seeger) and also are not allowed to show any connection tubes.

The SWAT CRL states: " The backpack frame must match on screen visible details and may be made from PVC or aluminum. "

Also your syphon is too inaccurate. Even the one from Gordon would be a major improvement.

Please check the CRLs http://www.mepd.net/crl/

Ok my friend. Some points are still open but a lot of open issues are closed. The biggest challenge will be your backpack. If you Need any advice and Support you will finde some real backpack experts right here. (e.g. Strider)

hi Felix

okay, to address your points -:

HELMET

I will adjust the tube stripes on right as requested 

I will remove two of the stripes on the left 

I'll get you a better picture of the spots on the rear. They are there! :-D

 

BACK PACK 

I'm totally redoing my pack. 

I've ordered a Karrimore frame, a raw cast accurate syphon and a brexton box for the toolbox. 

When the parts arrive I'll adapt the frame and fit all my components to it

Hopefully these mods tick the boxes for the helmet 

I'll crack on with the pack :)

Looking fantastic!

Thanks. 

 

Question...

should my frame have a pronounced bend in it? Mine is standard Karrimor so is more of a natural curve

To achieve that "bend" look, I just attached the lowest aluminum strip holding the lower seedtrays on the other side of my Karrimor, that way it at least appears as if the seedtrays are at an angle.

Do you mean on the “back” side of the frame?

Right, that's what I mean, that way there will be a steeper angle, but I think you will have to reposition the aluminum strips slightly, as the radio will probably be too close to the bottom curve of your Karrimor.

I can’t have the bottom tray sitting in any further.... the syphon already fouls the bottom bar of the Karrimor. 

If I set this back further then the syphon won’t sit right at all

That's how I did mine:
