Its a bit crap really, should be a cool Shadow troop carrier when its had a lick of paint though, its got room for 4 figures in the back too

The Kraken Wakes did one of these last year, looks dead good with the red windscreen. I have one too in my pile of toys to paint...
We so badly need a set of Hyena stickers!

i hate my HISS 2 custom so if anyone wants it they are free to have it... Can post pics if anyone is interested... The black should come off the windscreen easy enough to leave it trans red...
I have lots of HISS 2 tracks and rear / cockpit parts for trade... i bought about 5 hiss 2's, ruined several with cobra customs and dont like my shadow one!

I thought the back had to come out for the troops, it didn`t till I found out someone put the base on backwards!
T.K.W could you please post some pics so I can see what it looks like in red?

Here's the original thread:

I'd forgotten the painted windscreen. I don't think it looks bad at all. IMO it could do with some stickers to jazz it up but the colour scheme rocks.

i think my main problem with it is that i painted it in the plastikote gloss red rather than the satin red i found they make later...
all my other shadow customs, motor torpedo boat / night attack chopper / half track are in the new satin red so it doesnt match... also i dont like all the detail on the side... i did plan to get another and fill in some of the side panels to give it more a Hyena look...
can post some better pics of it if anyone wants, looking at that old one im annoyed with myself for selling all my red shadow troops!

I quite like it

The stickers on it look great.
I`ve also been looking at the 6wd Desert Fox, as a Shadow transport jeep.
Just trying to find a good gun emplacement for the back, I`m missing the original.
The Whirlwind cannons mounted on a Wharthog missile launcher are a good fit, might have to lose the roll cage though.
I`ll post some pics as I go along.

I'd love to see your other Shadow customs, The Kraken Wakes (Something has to be done, I can't keep typing that, it's either gonna be TKW or Krakes from now on).
Hey I'd never seen the Desert Fox before, that's a cool buggy. Can't believe the driver's called Skidmark though!
