Post subject:  Cobra Stinger MkII & Humvees

Here are a couple Cobra Humvees I've had painted up for a while and finally decided on a finished look for them. They are the CORPS! ATK vehicle with the roll bars and rear guns pulled off. I think it gives them a more generic look which makes them look different from the Stinger. These are basic transports for carrying troops and small equipment to and from the battlefield and around Cobra Island. They are driven by blueshirts.

And this is my Cobra Stinger MkII, again using a CORPS! ATK vehicle with an extra rear gun mounted on the roof to give it some more firepower and a more aggressive profile. Its mostly finished except I just noticed I need to paint the spare tire mount since my spray paint missed it. D'OH! And I'm still trying to decide if I want to use red or white Cobra sigils on the doors. The red would fit more with the classic look but the white would really pop. Suggestions?

The Stinger MkII is an upgraded version of the standard Cobra Humvee. It has a more powerful engine, enhanced suspension and control systems as well as an advanced communications suite. It boasts two twin 50 caliber high velocity cannons (1 roof mount, 1 bed mount) that fire depleted uranium armor piercing rounds as well as a single anti-personnel machine gun mounted on the roof. The more powerful vehicle demands a more skilled driver than a basic blueshirt. The Stinger Driver receives specialized training in vehicle maintenance and advanced combat driving.

Both of these vehicles look great, but it ust doesn't say Stinger without a missile rack on top.

I hear ya Spectre. I wanted to find a missile rack to put on the back but nothing I looked at really worked for me. I tried to find an original Stinger missile rack but didn't see any on the 'bay at all. If anyone has one they want to give up, let me know.

Well, you could also go with the missile rack form the TTBP or the PAC/RAT. Both are fairly common and the TTBP one shoudl be easy to pick up by itself. Here's just the mount. http://cgi.ebay.com/1985-TACTICAL-BATTL ... p1638.m118

Thanks for the link pluv! I looked at the TTPB missile launcher as well so that's a possibility. Those missiles are larger than the Stinger ones and I think would look more in proportion to the bigger CORPS! frame.

I looked at the PACRAT too but it's much too small I think.

I like them both. They definetely look like I would picture a 25th stinger. But you got to find some suitable missiles. I know chap mei has some ok missile racks that could fit.

:( I was hoping for Sigma 6 vehicles.

They are great and all, and I want that Hummer more every time I see it. But man, a Sigma 6 Stinger would be the greatest thing ever.
