Should it stay (and get converted) or should it go?

Post by stkhlmdk »

Hi, I received this beauty in a lot last week but cant decide whether to strip if for stickers and apply a set from Cobra Sticker and thus convert it to a "proper" HISS or sell it off to one of you guys who I guess really-really would fancy a mint condition black Hyena with the gun pins intact (see below) ;-)

Arguments for: Easy to get a very very nice HISS.

Arguments against: Its almost too nice to ruin with a new set stickers and the color of tracks and gun is not the same as a normal HISS.

That is bloody gorgeous. HISS tanks are a myth perpetuated by yanks, only Hyena's exist in the real world. I'd buy it if I didn't already have 2. Mind you that is in fantastic shape. I'll swap my left testicle for it if you like. ;-)

He-he, I thought so but my problem is that I do not collect anything in the Palitoy range so its really of no use to me which is why I would like some of the "hardcore" people in here to help me decide what to do with it. I have seen customs on GI-toys which hurts my heart because I really like the genuine stuff and would hate to see a similiar Cobra Hiss being turned into a Hyena :-)

Coverting this beauty I would consider blasphemy! One of the best examples I have seen in a very long time...

Keep it as it is definitely as HISS's and Hyenas are hard to come by anyway. Nice HISS too. :-D

Nope, it wasnt Eddie but I bet he will be kicking himself for not being online 24/7 when he sees this thread :-D I guess the next project for The Baron is to make a mobile-compliant site which enables us to track everything around the clock *lol*

Well, good. Because that's a real rarity, most of the Palitoy HISS were red Hyena leftovers.

Rene, please could you tell the seller that I have a copy of the generic Cobra sticker set if he needs the cockpit stripes.
