Hey my fellow tankers. Since I can't wait for Target to send me the Rattler, I decided I would take the 2002 TRU Rattler and convert that baby to the 1984 version. I have worked on it for 2 days so far in my spare time. So far I am pleased. What do You think??

Looking good man. I never saw the 2002 Rattler at TRU, that copper color quite ugly. I think your paint job is a big improvement. Can't wait to see it done.

Actually, That's the only reason I did it. It has been sitting on the shelf for 8 years. I was tired of the color, I knew I would never assemble it and display it, I KNEW it wasn't gonna bring anything off of Ebay. So what do you do... grab some paint, clean, spray, respray, add gloss coat... display and ADMIRE!! There will be some differences I will make to the final creation, but nothing really off the wall.

Looks good. I suck at painting. For mine, I just left it gold and changed all the missiles and bombs to the original one and put on the original stickers. If I was any good at painting, I would have painted mine blue as well.

Looking good. Might want to take the pieces off the spines for the final coat, though? Just a thought. Can't wait to see the final product, as I was thinking of doing something similar.

I hated the copper and think any new color app would be an improvement. My only tip would have been to remove the parts from the tree first. when you break them off, at best you'll have copper colored spots where they were attached, at worst, you';; peel alot of blue off with it.
