4. Masked off then painted the "metal" frame areas of the canopy matter black
5. Painted the Gunner Shield Cobra Sigil red.

Then hit those areas with a matte black top coat. Very happy with the results. The matte black finish works great with the semi-gloss finish of everything else.

Great work on that Hisstank and cannon shield, I thought the same to myself after I put the shield up: I gotta paint that Cobra logo red.

I'd been waiting for a community member to post photos, so thanks for that!

I came to the U.S. when I was 12, and the first American toyline I fell in love with was GIJoe. I love Transformers, Star Wars and Marvel as well, but as time goes on, I'm losing interest in Transformers FAST (with every iteration of those Bay movies), Star Wars is also starting to lose me especially with Episodes 7-9. Marvel I still enjoy, but again, some of these mediocre D+ shows are starting to kill it. So perhaps GIjoe not having a movie/show in the last 10 years* is a good thing, so it can continue to live in our imagination.

*not counting Spoiler for those that have not seen the end credit to the latest Transformer movie
