S.W.O.R.D.fish

STEALTH WATER OBSERVATION RECOVERY and DIVE craft

As my first custom, I have decided the Joes need a navy.

When I was young, my favorite GI Joe vehicle of all time was the Cobra Moray. I built entire days of play around the Moray.

My Moray was often captured by the Joes and used as a fast attack craft, as the Joes were lacking a large FAST naval vessel. While I liked the Killer Whale, it just never struck me as a fast ship, and I still believe if you are in a special forces’ type atmosphere, speed is vital.

Moved the search light and added some small operational lights.

I will be switching out the small 30 cal guns on the back with a few M-60s from Marauders’, with my next order. The top turret will be rearmed with either a Mini Gun or a Ma Deuce in the fall.

I am still trying to locate two large torpedoes and the depth charge holders, but the ship is in a functional state and it is going to be a child’s toy, so I will do touch ups as needed, but first the kid and I are heading out to the pool.

Hope you enjoy.

From what I remember from my youth, the Moray was almost impossible to sink
