This looks to be one the most awesome "stolen" ships that Cobra could ever get their hands on.
LOL
I can't wait to see the backstory on this. . . .
I was thinking along the lines of this is a sister ship to the FLAGG the military was building to help expand the Joe team. Cobra got wind of it and stole the new ship and is now vying for naval supremacy over the Joe team.

Looks good so far PV, you are making me want to come out of customizing retirement just to make a Tiger Force Flagg to take on your Python Patrol Flagg.
That would be awesome! Bring it on!
Here are some more pics, I got a little more done in the last couple of days.
I do need some help with one thing. I would like to get a yellow cobra signia about the size of the large one on top of the Terrordrome. I asked cobrastickers.com about custom decals and I asked jruben awhile back, neither of them do custom decals. I need to find someone who can do it on the good clear vinyl. I would be willing to pay for it of course. Now on to the pics:
I printed these blueprints off of yojoe.com and colored them in to help me get a better idea of what works and what doesnt and how it will look when its done. I did the same thing for the Python Defiant before I painted it. You can also see the measurements of the landing stripe I am going to use to mask and paint them on.
Here is the lower stern, and dont freak out, the rail and radar antenna are repros.
Here is the finished support structure with bow and stern. I dont plan on using the original spine, thats why its not painted. Its too flexible and the paint would chip and flake off. So I ordered some black polystyrene online which I will use to build a custom spine that wont need paint.
Missile launcher with missiles.
Adding a little python pattern to the side of the structure. This is a pretty simple meshing, just taped it in place so I can spray on a little silver paint.
And walla!!
