I've always been a fan of the original Hiss Tank. The Hiss II came out when I foolishly gave up buying stuff because of the waste of time called high school. So naturally I rediscovered it.
The Hiss II is great for carrying troops in the back and so on. It makes a great M2 Bradley for Cobra. But its a dull blue, not even Rattler Blue. But to stay true to the original, I wanted a black one. My first Spray paint job. So it probably could be better. The worst part of the tank I realized is that there is no real flat spaces to put original Hiss Tank stickers on it. Any ideas?

I like it! No need to sticker it up, it looks great as is.

Consider painting the main turret, overhead lights, and side gun black. Those things were originally red, I think, but it doesn't work for the V1 tribute you're going for. Red breaks the flow of the black, making it look Iron Grenadiers (even the IG stuff would have been golden brown).
Shifting the main body to black is a big leap forward and improves the look immensely. I hadn't really noticed it before, but you're right about the lack of flat spaces. The sides are way too "busy" with nonsense sculpting. |
