Sigma 6 Cobra Pilot

After the success of my conversion of the 2.5" Lt. Stone figure to 8" scale I had to try it with the Cobra Firebat pilot and I love how it came out.

COBRA PILOT

Base Figure: Firefly v.1 body / Jungle Snake-Eyes head (modified)
Accessories: Lt. Stone Cobra Trooper armor / 1/6 pistol

I used the same basic recipe I used for my other Cobra Troopers.  The only difference here is the color and the helmet.  I used hoses from a 1/6 scale SEAL rebreather and glued them on the back of the chest armor, drilled out holes and glued the ends into a cut and trimmed to fit Sea Ops Duke mask.  The SE head underneath had the visor cut off and the mask glued to it as that's the only way it would work.  I wanted to do a removable helmet but the mask and hoses configuration wouldn't allow it.  I also painted the trim color in a blue that matches the 2.5" pilot figure rather than the same Cobra blue as my other troopers.  I like how it turned out and would love to find a scale jet for him to pilot.

Code Name: Cobra Pilot
Real Name: various
Firebat Pilot

Primary Military Specialty: Pilot
Secondary Military Specialty: Infantry

Firebat Pilots are culled from the Viper ranks and given specialized pilot training under Wild Weasel.  The training is so rigorous and dangerous that only 12% of recruits who enter the program successfully graduate.  It is due to this fact alone that the Cobra air force is dominated by Sky B.A.T.s and not human pilots.
