I was at Geoffery's/TRU today and decided to pick up this helo I have had my eye on for a little while. It is compatible with the 25th line and cost me about $11 bucks. THere are no weapons on it, but I figured I could use it for a "Little Bird" helo for the Joes. I though about doing it in the following paint schemes...
1. Tiger Force 2. Flat Black 3. Olive Drab Green 4. Med Sea Gray, like what is used on the Marine helos. I want to order some stickers to make it look legit and realistic as well. I had also planned on doing a "Glenda" with my extra Scarlet and make her the pilot. Since Mr Clean did such an awesome job on his, I may go that route with the Nicole Kidman head. I am open for suggestions so, what do you all think? I will add some flat running boards for seats about mid way up along the skids. I am not too fond of the oversized whidshield, but I plan on painting it black down the first trim line from the top. |

I love that little bird. I'd say leave it as is, slap a cobra sigil on both sides/underneath, add a few red missles & a gun - Wa-LA! The Fang IV!
Oh, and Tenime, the Helicopter you're thinking of is the Dragonfly. |

Thank you. Before I saw Sigma 6 Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow on the shelves, I hadn't touched a Joe since I was, what, 12?

Oh, and Tenime, the Helicopter you're thinking of is the Dragonfly. Yea, I thought about that too. Pretty simple to do. That idea would look pretty killer. I may have to go and get another one now! THis helo also has little screws that keep it together. Which means that I can take it apart and apply a real good paint job to it. |

True Heroes. It was an el-cheapo brand next to some of the elite series.

I actually bought that same copter a couplea weeks ago. I don't wanna paint it, but I do wanna add some Marauder mini-guns; I'd love to add some missiles or rocket pods, but not sure what to find/where to use. Or what to stick the guns on with.
M_Deadpool, any thoughts on what/how you're gonna do?

They are rebranded PTE. I got one a couple months ago in the TRU Elite Operations brand and now I see they have rebranded it True Heroes.
