Cartoon Accurate GI Joe Firebat

The Firebat is perhaps my favorite jet in all of GI Joe. The Cobra Command vehicle was first scene in the cartoon as early as the pyramid of darkness. It wasn't until 1986 and the terrordrome that I finally got one. The ebay market on these have been ridiculous. The 25th Anniversary edition is welcomed. It is the same exact mold. In the cartoon, the jet is initially gray!







First, removed the labels/stickers, guns, bombs and cockpit canopy. I used Walmart Gray/Primer spray paint. Using small brief passes, added 3 coats all over the jet. AFter drying, reapplied the stickers. Than I took the cannons, and used a small drill bit to hollow them out to give the allusion of a barrel.
