The background is a pic I found just by Googling "desert photo" or something. I had it blown up to poster size at Fedex Office with a matte finish.
Within the last 2 weeks, I went from 0 to 5 SSC Joes in my possession. It is how I am treating myself from the work bonus I got this month. I intend to get a couple more before the preorders start come in (I guess end of November with the Viper), and I am working on a desert environment. Dio-stories are definitely in the near future. I am bitten by the Sideshow bug BAD. |

The bayonet does fit the AK74 that came with the Cobra Trooper. The AK74u is designed for close quarter combat so it has a shorter barrel. Great pics Discomite. |

About the bayonet: Yeah, I just wish the Officer came with more of a knife than a bayonet if there wasn't a bayonet available that fit his rifle. But it is cool. These blue shirts (tan shirts?) are just run of the mill expendable troops issued somewhat subpar equipment. I'm really looking forward to getting the Viper and his gear in my hands. |

Thanks FYI Your pics have been a big help in driving me toward getting into Sideshow. I'm not sure if I should thank you or blame you.

I like the look of the officer but I wish he would of come with spotting gear to go with the sniper. I think I will pass on both and pick up another blue shirt officer and black shirt sniper.

I think it is kind of silly to equate any Cobra ranks with legitimate military ranks in the first place. But I guess that is to serve as a reference. A Non-Com in the US Military could be a leader or specialist (i.e. sniper) in the Cobra organization.
