Unfortunately any customisation of your kit will make it unapprovable mate. Unless you can find a clone in AOTC that has markings on the back of his helmet haha

Yes, ABS sludge is the best way to hide them as it remains flexible, unlike large amounts of fillers and bondo (which should be used in moderation). It also has the benefit of welding the parts toge...
