My idea for the Flak-Viper is really quite simple. It kind of stems off the discussion on the "What Secrets Luke in the Filecards?" thread where they were discussing whether the HAL and FLAK are "indirect artillery" or "anti-aircraft" (turns out the FLAK is really both, and I have a hard time believing the HAL which shoots lasers is an "indirect" anything).
With my love of Cobra "blue shirts," I've got some Shocktroopers that are not being utilized. I love the body design, but not the head sculpt and helmet combo. So, I'm going to use the face mask helmet from the Air (Jet Pack) Trooper with the Shocktooper body. It'll be an easy custom with very little painting, and just a blend of accessories.

Take an exacto knife to the back edge circled in red below (attachment) to get the chest more rounded as required, then sand down to smooth
