Thats sexy. The gray wheels are a really nice touch. Makes it look more real. The blue came out the perfect shade. Looks like it matches the rattler.

thank you... And the wheels are chromed. Also I chromed the engines as well. It took a while but I think this looks much better than what gi joe club was going to release.. I love the rattler colors and the decals I got from http://www.the334thjoeco.com he did the decals custom for me using some mauler decals and he use a dark blue background instead of a clear and instead of the stars he made me some cobra logos including a real nice big one.

wow, nice to see this done! i had actually wanted to do this myself since the limited edition cobra mbt was canceled. i just couldn't find a decent condition mauler at a reasonable price. i applaude you for doing what they couldn't!
little nitpicky item, why does a cobra tank have the mauler icon? i would suggest using the icon found on the hiss. i just finished my sticker application on my cobra bradley so i can show you as well. care to provide details on how it was done?

well I like the mauler icons.. and its still a mauler tank just a cobra mauler. But it was pretty easy to make the tank I cleaned it real well with soap and water and of course I removed all stickers.. Do not use armarol wipes I know some people use them and they are not cool at all.. then I took the mauler completely apart and I painted them in segments. the hard part was the wheels. Trick is to mask off the bottom of the wheels and just spray the back and front of the wheels. take them apart completely and let the parts fully dry for a day before puting them back together. It really wast that hard. Just make sure you buy good paint and you have to do alot of masking but when its done its worth it..

thanks for the details.
i like the mauler icons too;) i used them on my joe bradley. i had to scrub the fov plastic while the bbi plastic was soft enough to just paint right over. my mauler is in storage so i don't have any comparison as to what the type of plastic was but i recall it being fairly hard. were there lots of peices for the mauler when you took it apart? i only ask because the mobat was very simple. what paint did you use? what type of mask tape if any do you use?

Awesome work, looks like you don't have to worry on the GIJCC cancelation on the tanks for the '07 "Tanks for the Memories" set.
