I loved the POC Ghost Hawk but that canopy sucked. It took me a while to make these improvements and was pretty difficult to get a canopy from the 25th version. Anyway I managed to win one on ebay and to save on shipping the seller sent me the canopy, missiles, figure, engine and wings. My plan was just to give it the 25th canopy but I went beyond that.
The hard thing here was to paint match the colors I think I almost got it. In the camera they look more off but in real they are pretty close. I had to repaint it more then 5 times to get it right. While I was working on it I noticed that the jet intake of the new engines would hit the tail wings. Ok this is a toy but Hasbro forgot that small detail for sure that would damage the tail wings with time. So I decided to make the switch of the engines and I was pretty happy with the result looks more vintage but at the same time modern. Then I decided to had the missiles. For that I cut the pegs of a 25th CLAWS and attached them with some putty to the wholes under the skis. To finish I installed some small missiles in the rear pegs. They work as a defensive mechanism. Oh ye the pilot, well a while ago I did this fellow is name is Corsair. I was planning to give him a more WWII plane at the time. Well time to get modern... replaced the helmet with this one from Terminator A10 pilot and pretty much that was it. The other mods are explained in the specific Corsair topic. Enjoy!!

Looks really good. I really like what you did. The only thing about the clear canopy is that you can see that the pilot just kinda sits there and does nothing...haha.
