    Marine Medic helmets were molded in green not white. Should be able to sand and buff it back to original color.

    White and red model paint should be a good match for the medic insignia.

        Well maybe post a photo or maybe give a better description than what you gave. Such as markings inside to indicate what you have. That or you have a knock off helmet and did not specify. Either way based on your question all medic helmets were green plastic helmets with painted on logos. If yours is white it is a knock off so do with it what you want.

          Well I check no Markings .
          and some one made Glue repairs .
          that would explain the Scratches
          the plastic is bit harder than normal joe .
          Helmets.
          I painted over the White it difficult.
          to match Color of Plastic
          but not impossible I recommend Craft Acrylic.
          only because they have Flattest Finish.
          unless it a Matt or semi- Gloss.
          this Helmet was more Matt so I cover it with
          A light Modge Pogde Wash.

            This be a knock off as mention ealier.
            no Markings any were .
            plastic is harder than Normal Vintage Helmets
            for Hasbro or period
            someone has made a repair.
            with a hard Glue maybe Model Glue
            with explains the sanding
            I mix some Craft Acyrlic with some other paint
            thin cover with Thinned Modge Podge for finish.
            I did not paint on the Medic Smybol
            since it a Knock Off use it for training Helmet.
            I did add no Chin Strap I used White Elastic Flat Type.
            which painted I added Texile Medium to Black Craft Acrylic got good match cant tell it Painted
