As some of you may know, I am a big proponent of restoring hashed ARAH vehicles back to their original glory. My latest project is below, the Cobra Hurricane.
I got one of these back on Christmas 1990, and subsequently sold it along with my DEFIANT complex (AGH! the horror!) for $110 back in 1992. Ah, the follies of youth. I picked this one up recently and had a go at it. I think it turned out spectacularly with a big thanks to Ruben jiminez for the repro decals ([email protected]). My Process: A Real American Hero I am currently working on the Cobra Condor my wife got me for our anniversary. Its been thoroughly cleaned, just waiting for the stickers from Ruben to arrive. |

that cockpit aggravates me. So does the rear of the Condor. I like the joes sitting snugly and not jostling all over the place in the cockpit.
When you say re-store you mean clean, complete, new decals etc. Any repairs? |

I have done some repairs on the internals to my MOBAT and MAULER, otherwise I usually will just replace the part. |

Agreed. The colors are awesome. Beats the hell out of neon puke green and cheeto-orange. Plus, Vapor is one of the coolest looking pilots Cobra ever got.
