Do you have to take it apart to paint it, or did you tape what you didn't want in green. I have two Rhino's, and I would like to paint one, but don't want to ruin it.

It looks so much better green. Love how this thing always reminds me of the Aliens Space Marine APC.

Saw one of these in Target today on clearance for $25, and almost bought it. Nice paint job, definitely better than the blue. Quick question - is this the same exact vehicle from 04/05 that they made, or has it been changed in any way?

Looks great! I bought one already to repaint for my Cobra Shadow force, but now if I find one on clearance I'll be hard pressed to pick it up for the Joes.

It's the very same one, no changes at all.

The wheels will pop off. Those three tab things around the center is what hold the wheels in place. Just pull up on the wheel while you pry the tabs with a screwdriver. Do one tab at a time. You only need to do two of the tabs for the wheel to come off.
I took the helicopter apart since I wanted to paint the seats, and the tail rotor black. The only thing I masked is the transparent cockpit canopy. I took the front and back hatches off and painted them separately, but the rhino itself I left in one piece. I'll just paint on the details later on. The paint really makes a big difference. It doesn't look like a plastic kids toy anymore. |

No changes from the old one except for the new ROC stickers.

Excellent paint job, and bravo on the choice of greens. Fits in very well with the rest of the Joe vehicles if you ask me.
