I always envisioned Cobra as having lots of neat stuff of its own, and or Destros' design, but I also envisioned them as being in constant need of equipment from other less expensive, more expediant sources. Maybe this comes from the early comic books where Cobra used com-bloc vehicles as well as older western European items that would have been very available on the world secondary arms market. So of course I've always wanted a big blue Cobra tank, and now I've went and made one.
Recipe: World Peace Keeper Main Battle Tank, disassmbled, sprayed with cheap generic Wal-Mart gray primer, then an undercoat of flat black, then royal blue, with flat black and royal blue sprayed over while wet in spots to "show through". The under carriage was sprayed with flat black, Krylon boot brown, royal blue and gray primer to make it look darker and more "messed up and weathered" than the top half. when dry it was reassmbled, and weathered by standing 3 feet away and over spraying with black, gray, and boot brown so it looks adaquately dirty and used. Details were painted in with Testors model enamels. Finally I added some Hiss Drivers, a few boxes and sand bags, and some left over 25th Hiss decals, because I like the shiny clean decal look, and the Hiss decals go well on most any tank. Photos: In my driveway, 5:20 P.M., Oct. 17, 2010, w/ a Cannon a590. Hope you enjoy. |

I too am interested in where you got this, how much it cost, and really what kind of tank it really is.
Kind of looks like a T-72?

Really nice work! I like it a lot!
Target sells the Unimax Bravo Team Abrams tank for $30. I got a couple of them last year when they went on sale after christmas. My targets are currently selling them. The peacekeepers toys can be found at Toys r Us in my area or get them online. |

looks almost like a mauler, blue mobat sounds like good idea would prefer in deep black.

I'll probably do something like this, too, I've been looking for a T-55 model (as it was the practically the Kalashnikov of tanks), but haven't had any luck. |
