Not too long ago, HissTank boards member and resident customizer arch2b initiated work on his Custom Python Patrol Sky Striker XP21F. Now, while some frown upon repainting a GI Joe vehicle into Cobra colors and vice versa, sometimes the end result turns out to be, well….breathtaking! With a combination of custom sticker sheets from CobraStickers.com and time spent painstakingly masking off areas for the unique Python Patrol camo, the end result is one of the deadliest Skystrikers ever seen. See for yourself after the jump!

My apologies for the amateurish Photoshop skills. The pictures are not presentation quality but the best i can do with my limited skills with the software. Mask tape and rattle cans i can do, digital editing, i cannot.
Presented here is my completed Python Patrol Sky Striker. i have MANY other custom Python Patrol vehicles completed which as scatted throughout my main web gallery. PP Skyhawk, PP Mobat, PP Armadillo, and PP Vamp.
This is by far the most difficult custom i've done and one i'm most proud of so far. The Iron Grenadier Rattler is a close second just because it looked so bad ass.
Recipe:
1 - 30th Sky Striker
2 - cans of Kyrlon Fusion satin Burgandy
2 - cans of Krylon Fusion satin Black
3 - rolls of 18mm Tamiya mask tape
1 - can of Rustoleum yellow
2 - sheets of CobraStickers PP Conquest sticker
1 - set of CobraStickers Low Visibility Sky Striker stickers
For a descriptive process build, please see the Customs Works In Progress thread. I detailed the build fairly well so that anyone with crazy enough to go through that much tape is able to see and replicate the work. There are far easier ways to accomplish the PP custom that the path i chose.
Please enjoy

Looks awesome arch! The Python Patrol Strato-Viper is almost finished, I just repainted him with the darker grey and added lighter grey PP camo striping.
