It's been bugging me that we never got a proper vehicle for guys like Ripcord to do their HALO jumps. Figured the Hero Force Shark would be easy to customize and one day while looking for Classified figures at Target I noticed one marked down. I thought it would look good in Night Force colors so with some time, spray paint, and stickers from Rattler Repros, I completed my first custom vehicle! Still trying to decide on a name for it... I was thinking about "Night Stork" since it's big and delivers things, but it sounds a bit silly. Suggestions?
I don't really have any Night Force figures to crew her (I'll have to work on that) but I recruited a few joes who I thought could help... I even got a photo of Ripcord during a test jump!! Some in-progress photos: Also, for some reason the Hero Force Shark comes with a couple trees of 1/12 scale weapons and accessories. Waayyy too big for the 4" figures it comes with, but check out Classified Snake Eyes' new uzis!!! |

Great job!
As to a name, I would suggest Night Dragon, as a nod to the C-130s cousin the AC-130, which was nicknamed "Puff the Magic Dragon". |

Indeed, looks like it came from a toy catalogue.
Great work, the paratroopers were in need of such a plane. As for the name I'd say Night Roc. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roc_(mythology) |

Great work! For some reason I really like that you threw Cloudburst in as a gunner.
