I really wanted to fill out the Cobra ranks in my Sigma 6 collection and needed a great character to add.  I went through the Cobra roster and Wild Weasel seemed like a great fit.  So here he is!

Base Figure: Firefly version 1
Accessories: Jet Wing Duke, helmet, belt / Sky B.A.T. wingpack / 1/6 scale gun

I started this one by modifying the Firefly head a little.  I shaved off the soul patch and trimmed down the hair so the JWDuke helmet would fit right.  Then it was a simple paint job of a dark red for accents, white for the hair and some detail paint on the smirk to make it look like scar tissue.  I painted the wingpack and helmet red also and added a Cobra symbol to his chest.  I added a Cobra symbol from the 3 3/4" Aerial Assault to the wingpack to give it a different look from the Sky B.A.T.s pack and gave it a couple "engines" from Desert Long Range's bazooka.  I added the rifle and he's all good.

Code Name: Wild Weasel
Real Name: Classified
Pilot

Primary Military Specialty: Fixed wing pilot
Secondary Military Specialty: Aerial infantry

Wild Weasel honed his piloting skillls working as a commercial airline pilot.  When the airline he worked for went bankrupt, leaving its employees suddenly without jobs, he traveled to South America.  Flying cargo runs for the drug cartels and guerrilla groups helped Wild Weasel develop the skills he would need to fly combat missions for Cobra.  It was during a routine cargo drop that his plane came under fire and the cockpit glass was shattered, showering him in shards of glass.  He took one large piece of glass to his mouth and was permanently scarred also causing a speech impediment.  A vain and egotistical man, Wild Weasel took the scarring of his face harder than the speech problems and so he is rarely seen without his flight helmet, even when he's not flying.

As Cobra's lead pilot, Wild Weasel is responsible for all aerial operations and aircraft.  Whether he's in the cockpit of a Firebat or dropping from the sky with his modified Sky B.A.T. flight pack, he dominates the skies.  His ruthlessness and disregard for human life make him a dangerous adversary and only Wild Bill of the Sigma 6 unit has been able to match him in the air.  If it wasn't for Cobra Commander's reliance on Sky B.A.T.s for most aerial operations, an air force trained by Wild Weasel would truly rule the skies of the world.
