while the Hiss is a cool tank, i always thought Joe's had it better with the Mobat so i picked up one on ebay for real cheap and decided to make a Cobra Mobat.
i used Krylon Fusion Blue since it's mainly for use on plastics. the most difficult part was taking off all the old sticker. the glue residue really puts up a fight. anyway, this is the first custom i've ever done with GI Joe stuff. here are all the main body parts disassembled here is the near finished tank |

J.Ruben, on Ebay, should have Mobat stickers, and I think he had CAT stickers, which might work better for you.
Looks good, BTW. I have been looking for something to do with old mobats.

thanks for the resource. i emailed thru ebay so lets, see what happens...
this was actually a very easy modification to make. as i mentioned, removing all the stickers was the toughest part. i may need to give the main turret a 2nd coat of paint as it was windy and some overspray blew back onto the part leaving it with less than a glossy shine. i really like all the stickers the mobat came with vs. the sparse few the cat has. i can buy hiss stickers from gi joe heaven but i'd rather get all the little detail stickers from the mobat and add the appropriate cobra stickers. |

J.Ruben has the Cat, Mobat and Hiss stickers. I'll also say that while Gijoe Heaven has great stickers, J.Ruben's are the best stickers you can get online
