While recent Mega Joe builds have focused on getting the GIJoe motor pool filled out, Cobra was hard at work on some new hardware too.\u00a0 Not to be outdone, they needed an upgraded HISS tank to replace the sad Kreo version.<\/p>\n

While the scale is a bit on the large side, I wanted it to not be dwarfed by Mega’s M1A2 tank or some of the larger scale tanks available from various chinese brick manufacturers.\u00a0 Sure, some of those are a bit large for Mega scale figures, but in general, I like a little beefier hardware.\u00a0 While I haven’t compared directly, this HISS tank design is likely just a little larger than the original 1:18 scale Hasbro version from 1983.\u00a0\u00a0 But it fits the larger look often seen in the Real American Hero cartoon from the 80’s, and it’s definitely more imposing than some little scout vehicle.<\/p>\n

Overall, it was a fun but challenging build.\u00a0 The tank was designed in three distinct sections and then assembled.\u00a0 The lower tread section, the turret & troop transport section, and the cockpit section are all modular and can come apart without too much effort.\u00a0 Thus I built them like an assembly line and put the big sections together at the end.<\/p>\n

I know updates have been slow, but more figures and vehicles are in the works.\u00a0 Hopefully I’ll shorten the time between posts substantially.\u00a0 Until then, collecting is half the battle!<\/p>\n
