My custom Cobra transport helicopter

[prowl]

Seems I'm not the ONLY one to have this idea...

I kept the vehicle in its original black color, and painstakingly made decals for it.

And here's the insignia I made, so the forum members may use it if they wish.

Hope you enjoy it! Now all I need is a 25th Cobra Air Trooper for the pilot, and it's ready!

OH MY GOD, PEOPLE FINALLY REPLIED!

Thank you, thank you, I thought my subtle changes were too uninteresting for other boardmembers to care.

The glare from the flash makes the logos look funny; belive me, in real life, they're as black as the body.

I chose to keep it black because it reminded me of the original FANG helicopter and HISS tanks, which were also black with red highlights. I'm playing with the idea of loading it with some missles, and I'm looking for a suitable gunmount for the 'chin.'

The 25th figures fit fine inside, and soon I'm going to have a couple Air-troopers to crew the thing.

Thanks, and glad you liked the decal choice!

You know if you use Testors Dull coat it will take care of any sticker glare and give it a realistic look.

Very nicely done. I really need to get one of these. I've seen so many on Joe sites and every custom job has been awesome. Now it's my turn to join the ranks.
