NEIN! Well, maybe. A red Hiss would be handy with :enemy: markings, not knowing so much about the :cobra: ouevre in general, just get a black Hiss, soak off the :cobra: markings, add fuel tanks and :enemy: markings and the odd ЖФЗ and voila you get the Night Attack Hyena. Because Saracen's third specialty is Night Attack & Operations, innit.

There are a few ROC Cobra vehicles that may suit him if you can throw the maximum of £30 at one and repaint it red.

I only have one black Hiss and I just restored it so will have to go on searching. Another spin on it could be a small tracked vehicle. I have one from that Combat force stuff. I recently found this:

Maybe an Armadillo custom?

Yeah mate. Although I think Red Saracens would be more lightly armed as he is on recon. So maybe a gun of some sort.

A pity he's not articulated for desert recon a bike would be good the SAS used them in the initial Iraq conlict of the 90's according to the book Victor Two I read recently. Or maybe a re-painted Joe light vehicle like an AWE Striker or Desert Razor would work.

I was thinking a bike as well but discounted it for the same reson as you. My son has an Awe Striker but with that and a Hiss IV? and part of a Mean Dog is all he has so far so I can't do that too him. He has one of those Chap Mei dino thingy jeeps but he wants that as SAS like the custom someone did on here. I think its trawling through ebay for me then.

Great custom. I'm also not a big believer in mixing SW and AF but you pull it off with flying colours.

As for a vehicle, how about a Marauders armadillo?

I agree, some sort of one-man tank like the Armadillo or possibly the TTT
