We’ve been showcasing a lot of amazing custom figures from our Custom Forums, so it’s time for a vehicle and a rather awesome one at that!
Check out the Custom Cobra SuperFANG Assault Helicopter by Hisstank.com forum member loyalcobra. This piece just screams COBRA, but we’ll let LC tell you about it himself –
Loyalcobra and MARS Industries proudly present – the CAH-14 SUPERFANG.
To me, one of the worst offenses related to the Rise of Cobra movie and toyline was the Cobra Gunship. If Cobra had tech that advanced at their disposal… the whole plot of the movie instantly comes apart. Anyway, I’ve done my best to fix this with a traditional helicopter gunship that incorporates the ROC design elements without trying to be too sci-fi to be believed. I’m not going to post a parts list, because I committed some terrible atrocities with my collections to make this. I hope you enjoy!

UPDATE: I got a lot of great feedback on this custom from fellow tankers, and I 100% agree with their assessment - the landing gear wasn't cutting it. The front gear is from a Conquest, and the aft gear is on an armature that I built from parts of a broken Constructicon. I also replaced the chinchy chin turret from the original Gunship with a 3-barrel gun that I scratch-built.

Man, This is awesome. The only thing I didn't like about this when it was released was lack of rotors. You made it something I would want.
Blood Brigade says
It's pretty cool, I think you should add some kind of landing gear. Maybe small wheels or skis.
TomO says
Wow. That looks real nice.
SAS says
WoW!! massive, massive improvement over the original gunship, i want it
Gatchaman says
I would buy that all day long. And I didn't buy even one of the original.

Super cool! The only thing I would want is to put it on taller skids or something so it's not on its belly. Something like this maybe?

I agree with the others, it needs landing gear. Otherwise it's pretty cool.
