Found a close match, should look great in red,
logo should be easier to paint on a larger scale

I think Godbug's F18 is closer, on account of the twin tailfins. Not sure which one is the rarer.

You know, I've only just twigged this is a potential Cobra custom, and not a Shadow one.

D'oh! I meant, of course, the Piranha!

Similarly, the "Death in the Everglades" chapter features Cobra flying an A10 Tankbuster - before the release of the Rattler toy!

The Ghoststriker is more rare. The F-18 can be currently found here in the States at Toys R Us for $25.
Here is one painted up for Cobra...

Plus the same company makes an A-10 ($30).

There is a hiccup with the Ghoststriker, this being Gi Joe printed on the fuselage.
Any amount of paint won`t cover this up but............
The targeting feature on the aircraft is great!!
Choose your target, project it onto a wall and shoot it down, I went back in time playing with this,
Eveyone must have one of these!!
Great Stuff

I don't think I ever saw a Night Raven in the toyshops over here we mainly got the carded figures and only a handful of vechicles probably due to storage space on the shelves.I do remember the last lot of figures was Space Brigade before the GI Joe range was pulled off the shelves in the UK for a few years.

Black Widow in that stories a babe(I wonder if she used to be a red shadow

judging by her outfit..(skull and crossbones)is there a custom figure and the rest of her squadron that would be cool)here's a story i'd love to colour once the operation deep cover stories need to be coloured
