That Cobra tank carrier helo is what I hope haslab does next. They could do a troop container, and a upgraded heavy hiss tank as stretch goals. Your Dragon hawk video is a great example of storytelling with helicopters as vehicle transports. Thanks for the great videos.
LOL - I got an ad for Cobra health care at the end of this video. Nothing suspicious about that!!! Great vid. I’d like to try this myself, but it’ll probably wait until summer. No outdoor painting in winter for me.
I highly recommend a grey primer layer first… but yes cleaning with soap and water and wet dry sanding is essential for a lasting paint job. Really good job and looks great!
You know what, it looks good and without your video I wouldn't have known I want to try it! When I paint Motorcycle plastics I always use a quick, light squirt of activator first. The paint will lay more evenly and adheres the paint better to a plastic base. NICE JOB!
I just discovered your channel. Long after I already painted one of these blue, by simply masking it off. Not disassembling it. Mine is meant to be Zartan's helicopter from early issues of the comics. ZTN-456, the helicopter that is fitted with holographic projectors. Last seen disguised as a city bus with too many skulls on it. I specialize in custom action figures, so I made the bus driver disguise (figure) for Zartan, and the granny lady (who is really the Soft Master in disguise) The interior of my helicopter has a few discarded grape soda bottles rolling around the cargo area, as well. I did find a Playmobil bus, missing tons of pieces, that I'm really trying to modify for 25th Anniversary and onward GI Joe figures, to accommodate the Bus Driver Zartan as well. And repair/replace all the doors and roof pieces. It's pretty trial-and-error, so far.
Chap Mei had some small police tanks , they were an awesome Cobra blue. I just cut off the Cobra symbols off the boxes and super glued them on. Lol Those tanks would be great coming out of the back end
I've found that a Mr. Clean scrub pad has removed certain paint apps on other vehicles like this. It looks to be the same type of paint app. I'll give it a try when I tackle my Chinook.
Cracking set of choppers there, always loving these conversions. I'm surprised you didnt use primer on your surfaces, but hey it's your project - some primers help because they adhere better to plastic rather than straight off paint. Looking forward to seeing what vehicle gets the Cobra Joe treatment next 👍🇬🇧
Thank you. I use the Krylon Fusion because it claims to be all in one - primer, paint, sealer. Probably exaggerated but I don't have tons of free time so if I can skip a few steps here and there, I'll give it a try. So far I've been really impressed with how well it works. But I'm also not going for scale model quality finish. These aren't 1/144 scale so a few bumps here and there are fine with me. I do like Tamiya primer and paints for detailed bits that won't get a lot of play. The Krylon takes a beating. Thanks for the comment. I'm always looking for better ways to do things. And I'm fairly impatient and always wanting to get onto the next project :)
@@ActionRobotPunch don't blame you on the speed front, especially if you need to get into battle quickly, I'll check that Krylon out that's if we have it in Britain 👍🇬🇧
@@MartinFutter70 Hi Martin, you can get Krylon in the UK. Try Halfords, Soldier of Fortune (online military kit) and air soft sites . That’s where we bought ours from to do paint jobs on our military kit before deployment. It really does take a lot of beating 👍🏼
Good job. Taking off the handle could be an option, for more realism. The Animal Planet wildlife rescue helicopter is good for that too, very tomahawk-y.
It’s funny to come back to a video and find you were also the last one to comment a year ago 🤣 came up again in my thread, but I was thinking this time, this toy might make a decent Razor Crest custom from the Mandalorian with a little work.
I start a lot of projects and don’t finish them! I actually bought that kid connection helicopter set for that purpose… But it’s been sitting in my garage for a year unopened!
I have one of these awesome choppers from when they were of the Sentinel 1 line. Great video as always! I really appreciate the formatting and how you have the intro and stages of what you're going to do in the video. Super pro and you have this Bob Ross / Mr. Rogers vibe for adults that makes me feel right at home and capable of doing these projects. Also the short history + actual footage is a chef's kiss to all this! My deepest and humblest respect and gratitude for sharing what you do and how you do it!
Anyone else remember that guy from either hisstank or fighting118 that mated two of these to make a more accurate 1/18 sized chinook? It was pretty awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it. Decals are just logos from the internet printed on sticker paper you can buy on Amazon. I think I go over it a some in the video? Maybe in another video. Thanks for watching.
Very cool! I always thought of the Tomahawk more of a troop transport/gunship rather than a heavy transport. But it would have been cool to get a Vamp in. I think I managed to jam in that Cobra four wheeler once or twice. I forget the name of it!
great tutorial, it's very helpful. I might get one of these copters and paint them in the Jurassic park ranger vehicle colors from the first movie. I do wanna ask tho, does the paint not feel sticky and tack or is that a matter of how much you sand and coat?
That paint dries fine. Not sticky at all. I am mindful of painting acrylic over oils or certain kinds of plastic/rubber but not problem on this set. Thanks.
Thank you for this Tutorial It Will be Very Helpful I plan to Customize several of These with at Least two In US Marine Corps CH-46 Colors and a few More In Fictional Colors as Some of the Factions that Will be In My Own Series Which I'll be Posting Stuff About It Very soon and I'll Let You Know When It's Posted since I Think You'll Like It a Lot.
Thank you for the information. Others have also pointed this out. I didn’t even think of the ch-46 until it was mentioned in a comment. The info is appreciated. Thank you for watching 👍
I think I used Wild Weasel for the photos but I was also thinking of the HISS tank drivers. I use those in my FANGs. Strato viper? or maybe just repaint a trooper? Lots of fun options. Maybe one of the new troopers from the haslab project.
Has lab had the idea of doing a revised skystriker and yet babe avoided the tomahawk? You think they do a updated version of the tomahawk significantly larger with more detail like with the new Sky Striker.
@@ActionRobotPunch They did a kind of sort of remake a few years ago I found out but it's not called the tomahawk anymore quite a few differences between it and the original blades were different it's shorter if I remember correctly and a bunch of other changes plastic I think is lighter that kind of thing. That was about ten or fifteen years back. Freedom eagle or some crap like that I'm sure somebody knows what they renamed it. Can't use the name Tomahawk anymore they consider that Politically Incorrect these days. I think they renamed Spirit Freedom eagle for that reason. Pretty sure they renamed Spirit when they brought him out for classified. Honestly I'd love to see them do a classified scale GI Joe Battle platform tomahawk and a vamp . but seeing the direction they went with the hiss tank and the sky Striker we all know the kind of price tag Hasbro would be waving around and of course they'd make it a Kickstarter and only do like 500 or some foolishness like that sing it be like $1,500 for a battle platform and Tomahawk would be like 800 Vamp would be around three or four hundred weather bunch of gimmicks like working lights and missile sounds as an excuse to make the price higher. I can only imagine what they do to the tomahawk and the battle platform as reasoning for jacking the price up so that only one out of every 500 collectors could even afford it;).
Amazing work, glad to see the little guy enjoying his toy! Saw someone else do it and copy it, if enough of us make them we can make them official GI JOE / COBRA helicopters! You watching Hasbro?
I forgot about the ch-46. Some others have pointed out the landing gear and engine mounting differences. I just thought chinook because the ch-46 is too small to carry vehicles but this toy comes with a Jeep. Thanks for watching.
@@ActionRobotPunch the CH-46 is tiny next to the Chinook. It is a big bird but the Chinook is huge. The landing gear, engines, sponsoons/stub wings, rear ramp and hatch, cockpit section are all different when looking at it from the outside. 46's cannot carry a jeep inside.
ARP? Got a questions? What 3d Resin printer do you use? I been watching your other Print build videos and there really interesting!!! Also, it's really cool to see collectors taking a whole new stand on restomoding their old GI-Joe toys.
It's credited to the artist Ed Valigursky. An amazing artist. This image is a scan from Popular Mechanics. It's incredible that he got so many different helicopters into one image!
@@ActionRobotPunch thank you. I have a couple of the dollar tree final faction ATV that I want to paint up like Cobra Ferrets and been looking for a good cobra color.
I had to google that helicopter and you're right. Just give it a rear rotor and the opening side doors. I guess they were influenced but many different vehicles. Thanks for watching.
...this is odd...i recently bought the cobra one on ebay. I was at walmart and saw this helicopter and laughed when i realized it was Cobra customized!
@@ActionRobotPunch It looks all set up for batteries underneath the hatch of the front rotor blade and it’s even advertised for lights and sounds but I don’t see anything
@@soldierray153 If you're looking down at the helicopter from above, there's a screw behind the front rotor blade. Unscrew that and the front top holding the rotorblade folds open. Looks like it takes 2XAA batteries. Then just close it up. Hope that helps.
a longer helico would be better, but if you want easy - simple, this is it. once again, I so much agree that Hasbro should have done this. I had the tomahawk, rarely used it because it did nt do anything more than the dragonfly. the rear hatch door was a joke, nothing could get in there. I kept it for my desert team with the vamp 2 and desert fox + mobile HQ. the dino copter looks cool, it has the tiger force colour scheme. I looked up the hind copter by curiosity, but it s far from accurate. only one seat for the pilot, no gunner seat, the side wings are way too high. same old cheap trick to down scale a few notches for price point. accurately scaled vehicles are few and far between. 21 century toys were really good, but they have bankrupt. their tanks and helicopters were top notch, and not so expensive. I have no house, and was not into collecting at that time, so I missed on that, no one matches them today. Hasbro made quite a decent hummer around 2008, if I d collect now, I d go for realism with classic joe figures and customs too. quite much like you do, good work!
Yeah, this is a great option to get something fast. A weekend project. I'm planning to do my own hind at some point but it'd be so much work. It needs the two seats. I also have a 1:18 huey kit I need to build. Someone told me it's based on the 21st Century toys huey. I also have a 21st century F-16 and German Stukha but they are huge next to the Joe scale stuff. On the Joe Mauler Works channel he shows some examples of how Joe vehicles, like the skystriker, are really at 1/32 scale. Thanks again for watching. Glad you found this project interesting.
@@ActionRobotPunch yeah, I suspected as much, the cockpit was suspicious, like if it was a little too big in proportion to the rest of the plane. the mobat tank was also quite small to scale right. it was a joke compared to 21 century tanks. thanks!
This aircraft is not a CH-47 Chinook, instead it's a CH-46 Sea Knight, because of where the engines are, and it has tricycle landing gear, instead of the quadracycle landing gear used by the Chinook. Now, the engines on the Chinook are mounted on pylons located on both sides of the rear rotor housing, and the Sea Knight's engines are located inside the rear rotor housing. Also, the Chinook has long sponsons running the entire length of the fuselage, and the Sea Knight has tiny stub wing style sponsons, instead. Oh, and the CH-47's name isn't pronounced "Chinook" instead it's pronounced "Shinook". So you need to go and look at photos of both aircraft yourself in order to see the various differences of the two aircraft. Oh, and one more thing: The original GI JOE toy line did not come out in the 70's like you said, instead, Hasbro released it in the mid to late 60's.
Thanks for all the information about the CH-46. The video is discussing Gi Joe ARAH. That line started in the early 80s (almost a decade after the end of the Vietnam War). Thanks for watching.
Now I know and knowing is 1/2 the battle 😁. There was another comment mentioning this as well. I’ll try and get it right next time. Thanks for watching.
I’ve seen this video before but I just love the simple custom job that looks SO good. Can’t even tell it’s NOT original
Thanks so much. That’s really appreciated. 👍
Cheap helicopters now look amazing. Even the original paint scheme looked surprisingly good. Another great video/ tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you so much. And I agree. The original paint and finish is pretty good. I just wanted to get the Gi Joe look that is so appealing. Thanks again.

I should try that. It was more like paint than a decal…but not sure. I bet it’ll turn out great.

@@ActionRobotPunch yeah, I suspected as much, the cockpit was suspicious, like if it was a little too big in proportion to the rest of the plane. the mobat tank was also quite small to scale right. it was a joke compared to 21 century tanks. thanks!
Hi there
Thanks for watching.
De casualidad no se tranformaran en robot de cibertron xD
Haha! This is GiJoe not transformers…but that would be very cool!
@@ActionRobotPunch son elicopteros muy geniales se verian bien como transformers
This aircraft is not a CH-47 Chinook, instead it's a CH-46 Sea Knight, because of where the engines are, and it has tricycle landing gear, instead of the quadracycle landing gear used by the Chinook. Now, the engines on the Chinook are mounted on pylons located on both sides of the rear rotor housing, and the Sea Knight's engines are located inside the rear rotor housing. Also, the Chinook has long sponsons running the entire length of the fuselage, and the Sea Knight has tiny stub wing style sponsons, instead. Oh, and the CH-47's name isn't pronounced "Chinook" instead it's pronounced "Shinook". So you need to go and look at photos of both aircraft yourself in order to see the various differences of the two aircraft. Oh, and one more thing: The original GI JOE toy line did not come out in the 70's like you said, instead, Hasbro released it in the mid to late 60's.
Thanks for all the information about the CH-46. The video is discussing Gi Joe ARAH. That line started in the early 80s (almost a decade after the end of the Vietnam War). Thanks for watching.
You're welcome, and now, I'll add your channel to my watch list.
It's pronounced Shin-Nook. Not chin nook.
Now I know and knowing is 1/2 the battle 😁. There was another comment mentioning this as well. I’ll try and get it right next time. Thanks for watching.
Yeah definitely don't like this 😒 just kind of fish filing Yeah.
Maybe we’ll get a new Joe transport copter from hasbro? Thanks for watching.
Please 🙏🏽 do a full size GI JOE SUBMARINE‼️
Lol If we ever get a pool in our yard I’ll make a 1:18 submarine 😁
The Tomahawk is also somewhat like a Ch-46.
Yeah. Definitely like a mashup of a Huey and Ch-46.
