Simple repaint. I styled it after the Strato-Viper, STUN and FANG coloration. Always thought they looked sharp. Used Ratter, Conquest, Skystriker and Firebat decals from Ruben Jiminez. I especially like how the HUD from the FIREBAT set looks on the inside of the canopy. Had a lot of fun with this one.

That's pretty sharp looking.

I'm a sucker for vehicle customs and this is a winner all the way. Very sleak and mean looking fighter jet. And you're right, the Firebat HUD looks awesome on the Conquest canopy. It works very well. I like this a lot.

Too late now, but the only thing I would change is the paint. The nose should be painted black because of glare from the sun.

I'm really digging it, though. In the back of my mind, I always thought it would be nice to see the X-30 as a Cobra jet, but without pythonizing.

That is damn sharp! Really like the coloration on that. A definite buy if it was production.

Just noticed the ordnance crates. I love those, where did you get them?

I might add a little bit of detail to the guns, too.

Simple, yet so effective. The color combination works so well. Would of been worlds better than a Python Patrol Conquest.

That is incredible. Good choice on the flat paints - the paint job looks sharp. And I love how you tied it in with the Raven and FANG.

Wow. I clicked on this expecting another direct repaint, but you really went the extra mile, and it paid off.

I like the paint job, simple but very effective. Reminds me of the Night Adder, minus all the goofiness.

I usually am totally against switching Joe vehicles to cobra, but this is one of the few that it can be done to without explanation. That being said I love everything about this and it's my FAVORITE paint job ever for the conquest!

Very very clean and cool.

I was going to get rid of my 25th PP conquest, but am now thinking of stealing......err....being inspired by you.

Awesome job.

If this is what we had gotten from Hasbro last year, I would have taken it out of the package.
