Post subject:  Frost-Bat with I.C.E-V.A.C.

Simple custom, just a ROC Skysweeper jet with Firebat stickers, and a AVAC figure painted white with Air Raid Parachute.

I love the FireBat, (not sure if I say that enough anybody wanna get rid of theirs?) , but as a Cobra Command weapons, not a Joe jet fighter.

Therefore, this is my Frost-Bat, Arctic Close Air Support.

Piloted by I.C.E-V.A.C. (Inclement Climate/Environment Viper Air Cadre)

I need to do some touch up where some red is still visible, and I may actually do something radical to him when I get back home and have access to some more stuff, but for now it is cool. Plus I want to print some custom lables out and make the Cobra sigils a bit more prominent.

The Frost-Bat is the perfect arctic jet fighter. it can be transported via sub, or hydrofoil, have a rough airfield set up within minutes, and is armed with skid mounted AP rotory cannon, heat seeking missiles, GP bombs, cluster munitions and a mix of both HE and AT rounds in the chin guns. It performs well against aircraft, light-skinned vehicles and personel in the open. Efforts are being made to mount torpedoes for use against naval craft.
Why does it have additional jets mounted? two reasons: 1. You need the additional thrust with all the ice build up, and 2. the air is much thinner here.
Their are only a handful of I.C.E-V.A.C., but the Snow Serpents and Ice-Vipers love them!

NIIICE! I wanted to do something similar before I decided I didn't need another Firebat.

I never thought of it as an arctic vehicle though, but seeing it as one I can't believe it never occurred to me.

And the white AVAC looks GREAT! I love that figure and it looks great in white.

Very nice work. I think we had the same idea with the FrostBat and arctic Avac. ;)

I do not claim any stroke of genius or brillaint creativeness.....

I think this is pretty much a no-brainer and probably occured to many.

When given a firebat mold, painted blue, with skis..........Any reasonable joe-fan would come up with an Arctic Bat, Ice Bat, or Frost bat.

I just happend to get mine in first I guess.

Proving my point exactly, no stroke of genius to come up with this concept!
Awesome pics, I must have missed the post!
