*UPDATED BELOW*
Finally got the 50th Alpine. What I didn't like about the 25th Alpine was there was no paint in his hip sockets so you see the white between his legs. They fixed that with the 50th one. For this iteration, I wanted to give him a slightly more modernized look but wanted to keep his jacket look as well. So, I took his 25th jacket and cut it up so it fits under the Recondo vest so now it looks like he has his vintage style jacket on underneath the vest. If I ever decide to have him look more vintage, I still have the regular 50th jacket and belt so I can always swap back and forth for the look. Now my Joe mountain team is complete. With Hit N Run I later updated it by cutting off the shoulder pads on his inner jacket as it just looked weird with the double shoulder pad.

Great mods indeed...I like that you used the POC Recondo jacket since it looks fairly similar to Alpine's...

Thanks. I used that vest cause of the color and the satellite phone looking thing on his shoulder. Just had to paint over the yellow.

I like it! The mix of the old school and updated versions makes for a nice looking figure.

Thanks guys. I loved that Hasbro fixed the problems with the 25th Alpine when they released him in the 50th set. The only other thing I might do is to cut off the pad on his left shoulder so that it doesn't have the double pad there.
