Hey guys, I'm thinking of using the 25th Air Troopers helmet/mask for some Red Shadows.
My question is, should I just paint them red, or should I try sanding the facemask down so it's more like the vintage Shadows?
For those that may not know who I'm talking about: (He's in the bottom left corner, looking to the side

I'd say paint it red first and see how it looks, I think it'd look cool. It's the white eyes in the black slit that made them look so menacing IMO.

Trust me, that's one of the little details that's staying

I'll have to see how it looks but I may just get rid of the breather holes on the sides

Hi, this is off topic, but I don't know anything about modern gi joe - I'm vintage action foce all the way.
In the pic at the top of the page there's a great black & red plastic Cobra Symbol which would probably look very nice alongside my vintage cobra stuff.
Could someone tell me where its from so that I search the world of ebay and get me one!
