Yeah, the helmet is not quite right. I took a look at some reference images on Google and I noticed a couple of things which seem to focus on the face-cage:

(1) Looking at the render of the profile, the curve on the side of the facecage maybe just a smidgen too much.
(2) The gap between the two elements of the double crossbar at the top maybe too wide.

all helmets will be different, so you dont have to get specific shapes of certain models right... :|

u can quickly tweak the shapes of ur models by using some of maya'deformers.
since his head will be under a helmet, there is no need take the poly count too high.(if u r using poly's to model this head)
ur model looks decent right now , from the looks of it, it seems u have enough vertices to shape this head nicely... so:
create either a lattice, or a couple clusters, then just try to match thte profile and front views of ur images... details can be added l8r, but now u just need the overall dimensions and shape. so tweak away user added image

wow great stuff just one comment about the nose is looks like it hooks a little more in the picture than in your model. i dunno if it will matter like it was said before cuz hes under a helmet but something to consider.
