remember the shadow fighter i was working on?.......
it's now no more, i demolished it to kit out my roboskull! it's held together with blutack @ the moment coz i cant glue it all together until it's had a repaint but with a LOT of cutting & remodeling ive got it all to fit, the roboskull finally has a seat & control panels! next comes the new arsenal & redesigned jets & we will have the roboskull mark 2!
the reapers found & old roboskull & using modern cobra technology they have brought it up to date!

That's good stuff Ross. Cockpits are my worst nightmare with models. This is really good. If you try a bit of PVA glue over the instruments it will give them a glazed look.

Well, your review implies it's gonna be the :cobra: version, and most of the :enemy: vehicles inherited by :cobra: have been repainted, so it is logic in-fiction. However, all those :cobra: repaints have different names from the :enemy: versions (Escape Aermour/SNAKE, Hyena/HISS), so maybe you should make the same with the Roboskull, like "Death from Above" or something (it's just a suggestion; if you want to keep the Roboskull name, just keep it).

PS: The :enemy: were like nazis, and they had a giant Red Skull... tribute to Schmidt, maybe?

um... the Cobra stuff came first...

HISS became Hyena, SNAKE became Escape Armour...

the Roboskull's a European toy...
