"Now Cobra Commander, I know you were somewhat disappointed with the Gunship after our last encounter with the Joes," Destro recounts. "This new, improved Gunship II, piloted by Wild Weasel, will serve to bolster our air forces in the coming battles!"

"I've added two MARS 'tidal wave' cannons to the front cockpit assembly, for greater aiming capability and firing, plus a 90 mm chain gun and mini rocket launcher all-in-one solution, effective distance, 300 meters"

"Per your specifications, we've added our new radar-reflective 'stealth-coat' to the Gunship, to make it nearly undetectable at night. The Joes won't know what hit them!"

It looks more amphibious with them added but nice work. Is your gunship a darker colour or is it the light reflecting it that way? As a suggestion I would paint the 2 blue missiles red to fit in with the overall colour scheme.

Yeah, it's darker; don't know if it's the light or my camera or what.
The paint is Krylon Camo Ultra Flat Black, if that matters. Excellent stuff.


As far as the missiles... I forgot to post one without them, which is
how I actually originally envisioned this. You can actually put in
ANY of the RoC verse missiles into this, which is cool, so you can
"change armaments" as it were.

Without missiles, I think it actually looks better, kinda like cannons
that haven't been fired yet..

I think all the additions are really sharp, and I dig the darker color too - though it seemed greenish hued in the first pics. This gives me some ideas for a revamp of that Gunship I am planning.

It's cool how some of those ROC launchers will fire any missile. Now to remember which ones, and steal them back from my son... lol

Truly awesome! A vulcan cannon is really what this needed. That peashooter under the cockpit may have had an unbelievable rate of fire in the movie, but it looks impotent. The front missile launchers look better as rocket pods (after removing the neon missiles). It's odd that the real punch from the gunship was the plasma (?) cannons in back, but the toy's version is equal to the hand-held launchers the figures come with. Nerfed.
