1986 Viper (with modified torso)


1986 Vipers often suffer from sloppy paint applications. This is a total repaint of the Viper to fix that.
I started by inscribing a thin panel line around the reflective face-plate for sharper color separation. I also removed the buckles from the vest. I didn't like the way they looked and they were redundant to the zipper anyhow.
I mixed a darker blue and deeper red to better reflect the colors used on the 1984 Cobra Rattler; my idea of peak Cobra colors. Spaz Stix Ultimate Mirror Chrome was used to paint the face-plate and the details on the back of the helmet. Then a thin wash of the blue mixture gave the back-of-head details a metallic blue appearance.
All colors are gloss for that new toy look.
