11/03/11Here is the last one of the series. I wanted to have a Cobra equivalent to Airborne, and Cobra already had the Gyro-Vipers, so Heli-Vipers fit the role perfectly. I was originally going to paint him like Gyro-Viper, but found that by painting the light purple black, he really fit in with [url=http://thegijoeindex.com/joeindex/usfigures/91/nightvulture1/Night Vulture[/url]

Because his SMOS is Field Artillery, I've made him my Grenadier for my Winter Operations fire team. I figured that the original M-60 was a bit much since he's already carrying mortar, so I gave him a M203/M16. Obviously, the main customizing here was the head. I despise the original head so I gave him a combo of Chief Torpedo with a hood from Han Solo.

1988 Action Vehicle Commercial Amazingly enough, he is wearing the Repeater vest. So here he is.

12" Bazooka figure back in 2008 showed me exactly what I needed to do.
