Retaliation Hiss V.6 with V.5 Tracks, interior& Canopy. Plus, a side-by-side comparison with the V.5:
I painted it with Krylon Fusion Satin from Wal-Mart. Was finished in less than 50 minutes to paint, sticker and convert the new tracks and new cockpit interior. I had to cut the bottom circle out to make the connector to the tracks and fuselage fit. I then bolted down the tracks to the fuselage in the later pics to keep the wait up front and to give the V.6 the right look when it is on it's tracks. I would highly recommend picking this up as well as a V.5 for parts. BTW, I do not like the look of the Miniguns hanging off of the back. I like them more-so on the sides above the tracks. Plus, in reality, it would seem to be too much weight for the tank itself with the tracks up front and to the middle. What do you like? Open cockpit with new interior (The Snake's Mouth): Switched Canopies

That looks nice. I was thinking of doing that with mine as well, but I wanted to keep my V5 intact so I got an extra set of V5 tracks that I'll just mod onto the Retalliation one, but if I had an extra V5 that was beat up, I woulda taken it apart completely and put the Retalliation shell over it.

How do the the guns hook to the retaliation hiss? Do they hook into the holes on the sides of the V5 hiss?

I just made the switch and I like it a lot better! Having the miniguns up by the turret kind of distracted the attention away from how cool the turret is on it's own. Like there was too much going on up there on the back of the tank. |

I think I'll have to switch the machine guns too.
