These have been done for a while, I finally found a few minutes to take some pics. Nothing earth-shattering here, just some repaints that Hasbro should have done a loooong time ago. I still need to order some stickers from J Ruben and find a replacement console for the HAL, but I'm pretty happy with the results.
Enjoy! OB

I love the numbered FLAK. Those are really great color choices and awesome execution.

Good work, I really like that Howitzer. Wish Hasbro would release it again.

Thanks guys.
JoeMama, the paint is Krylon fusion khaki and oxford blue respectively, both satin finish. I found them at a super Walmart in upper NY state, so I imagine they are generally available in the US. These battlestations were part of a much larger project that I was going to call Project Retro. It was going to be a series of customs that attempted to recapture the feel of the 1982-1983 ARAH line. I repainted a bunch of early vehicles and playsets as well as updated most of my 25th Anniversary Original 13 Joes (and some others) to fill an entire shelf on my display. All these customs have been done for a while, but real life got crazy and the project got put aside and I never photographed it. As I shoot them, I'll post the pics. OB

Cobra used the Flak in the cartoon, so it really works well for them. The howitzer looks real slick in tan.
