all you need is to disassemble them, unscrew them, and then buy those $0.99 spray paints at wal-mart and then you're good. just start one layer at a time. then that's it. then you'll develop that skill. it's easy.

Thanks for the images, topnotch97. I definitively plan to get the helicopter for Wild Bill when the TRU 3pack comes out, and maybe the Humvee.

This was probably already answered but is the large A-10 being sold at TRU right now compatible? The large grey one for 29.99? I think it is PTE but not sure.

As far as I have read here the A-10 is compatible and has been customized into a Rattler by one member. I plan on picking one up this weekend and see what it inspires me to do with its paint job...

edit forgot link http://www.hisstank.com/forum/220758-post406.html I was thinking of doing the same thing with the copter, (and also the red jet thing that kinda looks a cobra one)... but I've never seen the tank or humvee in walmart, are they very old?

I've checked probably dozens of Wal Marts, and some have The Corps vehicles and some don't. I know that those that do seem to have just gotten in new shipments after not having restocked them in a while. I don't know what the case assortment is, but it seems like some have the ATK (The 4x4), some have the tank, some have the helicopter, and some have two or three of them.
As pointed out earlier, the 4x4 is super easy to customize... take out a couple of screws to pop the top off, tape over the spare tire and the back wheels with some masking tape (and the headlights and some of the other detailed pieces if you are really ambitious), remove the stickers, and use some Krylon Fusion paint (sticks really well to plastic). In a few hours you are ready to put it back together. I'm curious what color of blue that is? I've done two of the 4x4s in black and they look really sharp. I like the blue though and might have to do another. One of the Wal Marts near me must be discontinuing these and has them on clearance for $7. The other Wal Marts don't seem to be following suit on that, so I think these should be around for a while yet. |

K-mart also carries the Corps vehicles. both small & big.
Target carried the small ones, right around the holidays last year. Wal-mart. they still carry them. you guys might wanna check out the different aisles. either they're shelved on different sections or catagories. not just around or near the Joes. Quote:
