Not too long after the 2000/01/02 A real American hero collection came through, I found myself kind of aiming at making my Cobra forces a standard blue-gray that was found on some of the repainted offerings.  This kind of followed into 2003/04 with the Cobra Nightwatch set.  I bought two of these, and found the blue-gray very appealing.  The Rock (Range) Viper is another that has a nice shade of what I was looking at expanding on.  The Crimson CAT II tanks Crimson Guard Immortal also incorporates a similar blue-gray.  In some ways I wished there would have been more offerings in these shades.  I do like the blue, and the standard Cobra Viper blue is good, as well as the '85 Tele-Viper.  The "blue" seems more out of place if it gets much more lighter in color, though.  
Here's some of what I'm talking about:
1:  all flash open
2: detailed with flash
3: detailed with no flash
Just playing with lighting and such with that.
