The 2015 Convention TF Skystriker just didn't make the cut for me, so I reconfigured him with TF Alpine's torso, Lift Ticket's helmet and a new head and vest from Raginspoon. Added in some paint and he's ready for takeoff.

Nice, i like the torso swap.
I put the 5 pack ROC Footloose head on my for right now, kept the torso, but gave him a custom helmet from Alyosha. He looks so much better than that Tripwire head.lol

The Tripwire head was total letdown. I think the Snow Job torso was ok just because it was used for Wild Weasel and that's what they used to make Wild Weasel. Using that vest that you did really makes it pop though. All I did with mine was swap the head off my custom one with the vintage helmet and put it on the club one.
I really like the head you used too but I'm not a fan of painting heads. Yours just has the wow factor that mine (and ultimately the club's) lacks.

I plan i doing pretty much the same as what nighthawk did pretty much for the same reasons too. I am just not the painter that some of you are so i tend to shy away from painting heads myself and usually sub them out to amazing customizers like Marine73 who did a fantastic job on my Ambush.

Thanks, I am pleased with the way it turned out. The original is one of my favorites, so it was important to me that the modern version does the original justice. The club teamed perfect legs and arms with a sub-par torso and a terrible head.
