SOAR 'Night Stalkers'

The 160th SOAR (A) consists of the Army's best-qualified aviators and support soldiers. Officers volunteer while enlisted soldiers volunteer or are assigned by the U.S. Army Human Resources Command. All soldiers receive intensive training upon joining the 160th and are required to pass the Green Platoon course.

Its missions have included attack, assault, and reconnaissance, and are usually conducted at night, at high speeds, low altitudes, and on short notice.

For those that have seen Black Hawk Down, the drivers of the black hawks were Night Stalkers.

Got this guy in the mail yesterday. I plan on using his helmet as an upgrade for this guy.

The vest looks useful too, minus the sculpted holster and stuff.

Awesome build! Now go apply some killer paint scheme!

I was gonna suggest a Bbi helmet for this guy, but now that i see he's not an aviator i'll just say i think the new helmet is a better choice.

Thanks. He's been sitting on my shelf for a week or so now. I have about three other figures that are waiting for paint too...

I've been eying the Nightstalker figure on eBay, but can't justify the price for JUST the helmet. I bought Tomahawk on a whim cause I figured I could use the parts somewhere and when I got him in hand, I saw the helmet and thought it was perfect.

I was gonna suggest a Bbi pilot helmet, but that one is better. People love that figure around here.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

get some paint on him stat!

 

[darthdre758]

Yeah yeah yeah.

I hate painting.

It will be done though.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

lol, i hate painting too

 

[xhairs]

so any updates?

 

[darthdre758]

Soooo...almost three years later and I think I'm done. I know it's not 100% spot on accurate, but I'm happy with him and just glad I got some paint on him.

 

[Meddatron]

Holy cow, when did they release this guy from his prison camp? Thought for sure he was MIA.

Great work Dre.

 

[darthdre758]

Hahah. Yeah. I don't know what made me pick him back up...especially since I have many other WIPs sitting around...and one I started before I picked this guy back up. Thanks Medd.
