OK, so I buy the fact that a character's suit may change... somewhat and that the current Wonder Man looks (when last seen) a lot like the Vet transparent-blue sculpt but the Rookie and Exp are WAY OFF. The Rookie I can live with (though I am sure a remodel will be attempted at some stage) but the Exp version... well, things must be done!
The Inspiration for the mod is the cover art of Avengers #192 Feb'79
Peril In Pittsburgh! The classic red safari suited Wonder Man is, for me, the ONLY Wonder Man, even if he ain't the Vet powerhouse. So the original paint job (at the top, not bad as it is) will be kept for sure but relegated to the Simon Williams LE.
The mod was actually quite tricky. I had to whittle (with the hand-held-whirling-tool-of-death) most of his buffed-ness from the waist up (down was fine) and right up to his neck and around his uber-arms to green-stuff up a polo neck, the beloved red safari suit and the mandatory sunnies.
