So, I was experimenting with something and I found that if you have a steady hand you can get close to the colors of the Cobra Island version of the Viper by just painting over the red and blue of the cheaper 3-pack version with these 2 paints
Vallejo air colors red Vallejo air colors blue Since they are diluted for airbrushing they go on super smooth and overlay onto the existing color, when they dry you get what's shown below. The Viper on the left is a cheap 3-pack Viper re-saturated. I realize now I should've included a before but it's still a WIP so I will upload something with comparison shots when I do more to it, just thought I would share. The bare arms below the shoulder come from an Action Force figure, just heated then popped off/swapped & painted.

Great job. Your work has made the Viper Three Pack even more attractive.
Now they need to go back down to $39 in price.

Here is a shot comparing the original then my mod, then a Cobra Island Viper.
It really shows how desaturated the 3-pack Viper was
