skystriker found at retail

[YT1]

Damn, back to school shopping is expensive these days.

I am shocked at the amount of stuff my kid has to take to school.

 

[Goldbug]

God damn it! living on the East Coast apparently sucks! Seriously when the fuck are those Sky Strikers getting to Kentucky?! If this shit was made in Europe I would have had it by now, unfortunately Europeans have work ethics and living standards and don't work for slave wages.

it's amazing ain't it? when we were in school, we needed a lunch box, backpack, crayons, and a folder.

and in middle school it was a damn trapper keeper.

The Sky Striker is really cool, definitely a larger toy than what I expected! Looking forward to cobra sticking future Striker toy purchases!

Wish I had one as a kid!

It suddenly occurs to me that if you were to take the wings from this here Skystriker doo-dad, and mate them up with the original Night Raven, then find something to act as a vertical stab, then sling a couple of Adder missiles under neath that you'd get a pretty close approximation to a Joe version of a Tu-22M.

This requires some contemplation.

 

[Wild weasel]

do it

 

[K-Tiger]

If parts weren't so expensive I certainly would. My spare NR is little more than a shell, and was gonna be crimson 'til i lost interest.

 

[Midget]

That's a pretty cool idea. What about using the Night Bird or whatever the fuck the RoC thing was called. It would be cheaper.

 

[Wild weasel]

cheapskate

i would but i dont have on original NR

 

[K-Tiger]

I've got the Night Raven body, that isn't the issue. It's all the undercarriage parts and a donor Skystriker. Maybe i can find a cheap original SS to be the wing donor?

 

[Wild weasel]

I'll trade you a minty complete v1 nr for a starscream

I think I can help you with skystriker parts and nr parts

Do that!

I think I can help you with skystriker parts and nr parts

Maybe we should make this thing a reality?

 

[K-Tiger]

Like i said, i have a Night Raven fuselage. Why go track down that limp dick RoC one?

 

[Wild weasel]

I'll give you some inspiration:

did this awhile back

 

[Midget]

I had an idea, but I realized it was stupid.

 

[Wild weasel]

Do that!

hells yeas

 

[K-Tiger]

Cut the Night Raven wings off at the nacelles. Have to match the contour on the new wings to the engines.

*walks off muttering to self*

 

[Wild weasel]

heres the aggressor f-22 I did to show the colors. they were all krylon spray, I can find out what they were if ya want

 

[Wild weasel]

heres said skystriker parts and shells, was going to complete them but then the new one hit target:

I also have some night raven stuff

 

[K-Tiger]

Bit premature to worry about paint schemes at this phase, though i may keep it crimson and black, even though I'm a big "no primary colors colors for Cobra" supporter.

 

[Wild weasel]

who said it has to be cobra, it could be russian like the real deal.

 

[K-Tiger]

Ha! Unfortunately it isn't quite close enough to pull off the traditional Backfire scheme.

 

[Wild weasel]

It's the new heavily modified spetznaz version that nobody knows of yet...

 

[K-Tiger]

We'll see. I'm notoriously skittish about tackling camo patterns on vehicles.

It's got to be built, first.

 

[Wild weasel]

if needed there can be a joint operation(the f-22 and nr are just halfassly painted, before I used an airbrush). I may actually just make myself one.

 

[K-Tiger]

I think i can get one of the NR stabs to work as a single centrally-located vertical stab.

thanks for the suggestion, but none of the Targets in Lexington and Louisville had the things, I'll have check again this weekend I guess.

 

[Wild weasel]

I think i can get one of the NR stabs to work as a single centrally-located vertical stab.

might I suggest the joe ghost striker x-16 rudder instead

 

[K-Tiger]

I thought about that very thing. I'd have to see it next to the NR stab to make a decision.

 

[Wild weasel]

If I can find my loose ghoststriker I'll do a comparison shot. Sad part is I know where the misb ghoststriker is but not my loose one

 

[K-Tiger]

Crap, I'm gonna have to HT to get all this shit. Blargh.

 

[Wild weasel]

these are the best pics I could get, crappy phone cam bad lightin and no god spot to take the pics

the gray one is the ghoststriker rudder(I repainted it in the twotone camo of the real f-16)

heres a shot to show you how thin the nr rudder is compared to the x-16

 

[K-Tiger]

Hmm, it's taller, but i definitely like the rake on the NR better. Guess it'll come down to cost.

 

[Wild weasel]

the nr would be easier to find, don't know which would be cheaper. The thing is, the night raven rudder is meant to be set in at an angle, and both sides of it are different. I'd personally get a ghost striker tail but its your choice.

 

[K-Tiger]

Well, the NR fin is free as i have it.

 

[Wild weasel]

so have you decided if your gonna make it?

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

do it K-T!...it NEEDS to be a reality!...
