Excellent Work. This is like Cobra's answer to the Thunderclap.
This just illustrates how a little paint, and some excellent craftsmanship, can transform these cheaper, Chap Mei vehicles into EXCELLENT playsets for the Joes. I hope you're paying attention, Hasbro.

Just a bit of trivia: This vehicle is actually loosely based on the "Dragon Wagon" US tank transporter from WWII. I've looked this over at TRU many times but most of my custom ideas usually just remain ideas, lol.
Awesome job!

Thanks for all of the compliments! I drove a slightly similar truck, the M1070 HET, on my first deployment to Iraq, which is what made me want to customize this.
For those of you interested in the Rocket Hauler playset, TRU.com has it listed for $19.99 right now with in-store pickup as an option. |
