the black looks real nice. I did a size comparison in my review as well: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-pictures.html
The Retalliation is slightly bigger than the V5 tank, but the front half is the same as the V5 one though. Ah, thanks for that. Nice work putting your driver's head to a good use as well. |

I just used some Rust-Oleum "Painter's Touch" (Ultra Cover) flat black. That paint dries fast under normal conditions but it's about 100˚ here in the Phoenix area today so I could literally watch it dry in the sun (insert boring joke here). The trickiest part was keeping the canopy glass clear, which is why I just painted that on with a brush by hand. I suppose you could mask off the panels, but I wasn't patient enough to do that and just went for it freehand. There's a little piece where the tread assembly connects to the chassis that comes out when you take it apart... Make sure you put it back in facing the right direction! I didn't even think about that until I was putting everything together for the first time. I had a 50/50 chance I did it right and I got lucky. |

I did not like the Tank but after seeing your pictures I may buy 2 to paint in Black. I wish Hasbro would have made this in black but spray can help that out.
