It was previously a True Heroes Freedom Helicopter.
It was painted with quality Tamiya paints. Anybody wanting one for themselves, go here: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...tml#post338535

Very cool. Just finished doing the same exact thing but mine is for Cobra. I did it in a dark grey and put Cobra stickers on it from Cobra Stickers.com. Looks pretty good, I am happy with it. I kind of wish I had went with an even darker grey or even a flat black.
My thinking was that I would make it look kind of like the non-Hasbro/non-GI Joe vehicles you always saw in the GI Joe cartoon. In the cartoon Cobra always had these (other) vehicles that were never made by Hazbro. They were usually helicopters but some times like in the "mass device" movie they used jets. Anyway, these vehicles are always painted grey or a blue/grey in the cartoon. So I thought I would make mine to look kind of like those helicopters in the cartoon looked. I really like how yours turned out. Great job. |

Thanks, guys!
I went back and added "UNITED STATES ARMY" and a tail number to both sides of the Helo. You can see it in the bottom photo. I actually like this helicopter a LOT more with a more realistic paint job. The Olive Drab is a little darker in person. The flash of the camera lightened it up a little. I plan on eventually doing one in Navy colors & Cobra colors. Painting one to look like the Tomahawk would be a cool idea as well. Like I said, this helo is available on *cough*eBay*cough*

Thats a really great custom. Love your work
I picked up one of these chap mei choppers recently and have made a few modifications like putting windows in the cockpit, replacing the front 'gun' with a more realistic minigun of sorts. was thinking of painting it with a colour scheme similar to the tomahawk. Anyway, really great looking custom job. |
