Goign straight to nitpick mode; did you consider doing red missiles?

Lol I did wonder if anyone would mention it... Uhm I usually hate red accessories like missiles / guns... I can cope with them on most things but imo they ruin the Z Force jeep... I tried the red but preferred the black with red decals and have gone for the same on my Tomahawk...

They look great, nice job on the Wolverine.
There's repro tow ropes? That could be handy.

impressive, how did you get such a tiny sharp Z logo onto Campbell's beret?

Z-Force having the Wolverine was something I intended to put in my 'movie idea'. makes no sense for it to be an SAS vehicle...
good work.

SAS Wolverine is one of my favourite vehicles, but I am inclined to agree - more heavy artilliary than covert ops.
Maybe it's just because it looks so damned cool in black, and Z already had the ATC, Jeep and a big assed tank.
Incidentally - ATC is Armoured Troop carrier for the Z's yes? But for GI joe it was listed as Amphibious Personnel Carrier. Wonder why the slight change?

Certainly I've thought about this. With regards to the real SAS and SAS Force there are enough differences. The Panther and boats are fine (apart from the fact that silent attack would be lit like a Christmas tree LOL). However the SAS have used support artillery - for example a commando force would locate the location of a target for attack by missile. I'd certainly see the Wolverine as a SAS Force vehicle that operates at distance, as opposed to say a tank.
In saying all of that, it is still more of a Z Force type vehicle, but maybe Skip lost it in a game of poker to Eagle!!!
The custom, itself, though, is brilliant, and suits Z Force down to the ground

Thanks, its a custom decal, printed onto waterslide paper like airfix kits... All the Wolverine decals were done the same way... Though you cant see it most of the figures have them on their arms or helmets too...

when the real SAS calls in fire support or air support, though, it's a regular unit doing it, not the SAS. unless it's an SAS Mortar team...
the only vehicles SAS should realistically have are Land Rovers, dhingies and maybe motor cycles.
anything else should be either Z-Force, Q-Force or Space Force. or from a regular unit...
