My wife and I are expecting our first child very soon. When we decorated the babies room not knowing if we are having a boy or girl we made it pretty neutral. I wanted to ad just a small touch of GI JOE to it so I put a nice Conquest X-30 repaint I did on a shelf by the crib. Any way my wife pointed out the fact that it wasn't very babyish and that the first toys that the kid will play with would be rattles and stuffed animal then fisher price type toys. Anyway today I went to the flea market and I saw this plane on a table and it happened to be a Fisher Price toy from 1974. It looked like it would fit a GI JOE. so for the high price of three dollars I brought it home and got to work on it. We still don't know if it's a boy or girl but either way I can't wait to play GI JOE with them, even if it's fisher price GI JOE. I just hope his or hers first word is COBRA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well after Daddy of course.
It's basically just a simple repaint metallic blue over grey. I also tinted the glass then added guns from the Polar Battle Bear. I painted out the wing flaps and the step to add detail, then added some Cobra Air-Force stickers. I was surprised at the quality of how it was put together, they really made things to last back then. Fisher Price Plane 3.00 Stickers 5.00 Paint 3.00 Total 11.00

I'm actually pretty envious of that. You did a good job and it looks close enough to not be much of a stylistic mismatch to a Hasbro GI Joe toy...

It looks good. You made sure to use lead based paint, right? LOL
Only problem I see is if it turns out to be a girl you are going to have to repaint it pink. Hot pink top with a baby pink bottom.

I like it. I seem to remember having one of those.
The PBB guns look pointy and eye pokey though, I bet the wife says to remove them. |
