Thanks to HISSTANK.com boards member Dusty79 for posting up his G.I. Joe Combat Cruiser converted Into a Custom Cobra Stinger! We could onle wish to see a better version to hit retail.
“Converted a vintage missile rack to fit in the existing turret, as well as adding armor to the front using styrene and the armor from the ROC Steel Crusher. The metal grating in the windows is made from the hangers that Hanes socks come on. The wheels were cut axel and all from a Bruder Jeep and made to fit. The 50 cal gun on top is a cast. Drones were added to the back and made to be removable to add play value.”Check out all the Custom Cobra Stinger images after the jump.

I know I'm late to the party on converting the Combat Cruiser to a Stinger, but it just took me a long time to get around to it. I made the Stinger driver some time ago and he now, finally, has a ride. I made multiple changes to make it more Stinger like. This included converting a vintage missile rack to fit in the existing turret, as well as adding armor to the front using styrene and the armor from the ROC Steel Crusher. The metal grating in the windows is made from the hangers that Hanes socks come on. The wheels were cut axel and all from a Bruder Jeep and made to fit. The 50 cal gun on top is a cast. Drones were added to the back and made to be removable to add play value. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Let me know what you think. Criticisms welcome.

Outstanding attention to detail! The right accessories make the custom, and this is brilliantly executed!
Gatchaman says
Wow, that is beautiful. Love the driver too. Very nice work.
Man if that's what it looked like when Hasbro made it I would own a bunch.

The armored windshield is sweet. I like the side windows too. And the stinger launcher sets it off
SAS says
DAM!! that's clean, love it, really nice work!!
hahoo3 says
Very awesome! One of the best I've seen! I like how you incorporated the original missile system from a stinger. Love that driver too! I'm going to have to make a couple myself. The Bruder wheels look better then the John Deere wheels I used on mine.
I plan on doing more of these, I bought over 10, so I might have to steal your ideas!
