WOW! :wow:

I love his uniform. It looks just like the one on the comic book! 8-)

Did you also modify the steering in the plane, or was it just luck that the klicky is able to grip onto it?

Very neat custom! :love:

Thanks :)

The planes interior was just an empty box. My dad made the interior structure--he used a playmobil train part for the control stick--and I made the gauges on the computer, printed them and glued them inside.  The gauges are pretty close to the actual layout of a Warhawk.

--Also, if anyones wondering, the plane is from the Sgt. Savage line of the 3 3/4" GIJoes.

 >:(Arrgh! I just found out the site I got the panel layout from labeled the image wrong. The gauges are wrong. oh well...good enough.

Thanks for the info about that F-18, Knightmo!  :) It looks very nice and detailed, I haven't seen such a model overhere... If the scale is right, it would be perfect, I'll check what I can find about it.

Anyway, I love the character and love the plane even more !!!  :love:

Did you have to do lot of customizing - or did the plane more or less come like that? It looks awesome! (Just like the pilot )

Thanks :)

The plane pretty much came like that. The biggest thing that needed changed other than the empty cockpit, was I had to sand off the GIJoe logo on both wings. I would have removed the gattling gun but that would have been to much of a chore. Also, there was a bit of a science fiction element in the comic, so it fits.

I think that the look and feel of the plane matches the pilot fantastically.
If no one had told me, I could have believed that they meant to go together all along.

That is a very cool custom - both the pilot and the plane!

I have an older P40 Warhawk that I use with the small GI Joes, made by a Chinese company called Chap Mei. I will have to dig it out, but at first glance it looks very similar to the one you used.

Good job!
