Very nice job! I was thinking of doing only a custom paint job to the current Rattler, but your custom gives me second thoughts. I was in a TRU Friday night, but couldn't find any of these A-10's.

Yeah, the A-10s have all but vanished from TRU. I wonder if they are going into Big Lots stores for the holidays.

I did one out of that A10 a while back,I was not trying to replace the original Rattler but add another jet to the Cobra air force.I called it the Diamondback Rattler because it is more deadly in a fight then the Rattlers I want to do a Wild Weasle repaint to go with it.Very nice it would look sweet flying in formation with two Rattlers as wing men.

I think that is a good way to go. Maybe the rattler is an alternative model It's obviously based on the A-10. The Rattler could be the newer version for Cobra.
In my own universe i go for as much realism as i can, as i mentioned in the first post, so the regular Rattler just doesn't cut it. Plus, the toy is just so damned small. It was small with RAH scale figures and now its just laughable. I actually bought two in the heat of the moment, but i kind of regret having two. I would rather have a couple of these comprising my cobra ground support flight, but I'm kinda holding out for a true 1:18 scale manufacturer to do one. I would easily buy four of those and convert them in a similar manner.

what's the color and type of paint you used for that AWESOME Rattler? I am going to convert the GI Joe Mauler to a Cobra Mauler (like the one that was suppose to be made)

I'm betting this is the main reason we are NOT seeing the Sky Striker and ARE seeing the Conquest now (cheaper to make and easier to sell). Just look at the '80s prices for the SS, Rattler, and Conquest for proof -
Paul, great work, this is one of the best PTE A-10 Rattler customs I've seen. I hope cobrastickers ends up making stickers to scale with that, as a lot of joe collectors are using that plane as a base for Rattler customs. The amount of weaponry included, and the selection of it is great. It even comes with a boarding ladder and ground crewman! |
