Because we all know the store version is awful.
That launcher is super lame. And the colors are so-so. Here's my simple part swap take using POC parts, and a bit of weathering...

changed the guns, changed the rear cabinets, lowered the fan connector, added weathering

The POC Mocassin was in Ross for months, had an extra.
Used the guns & the storage compartment covers. I also like the rear rudder attachment from that version. I tried to pull the black gun bay out of the POC one, but it is in there tight; must be a plastic tab on the bottom. I don't like the blue on the Retaliation one; you know what's odd? I tried to swap the engine cover w/ the POC one, and the new engine cover is cut different, with no front tabs for the old cover... how odd! Definitely want to pull the gunner bay out of the POC one and swap it out; would look much better in all black on the retaliation model.

I tried that, but the way it hangs over the right side of the boat is not compatible with the other side, it is too thick and presses up against the window and pushes it off center so it wont fit the same way :(
