AAAHHHH please do NOT use those stickers on your masterpiece!  The stickers included with the v.5 are absolute, TOTAL CRAP!  They show flaws very, VERY easily!  I flawed some of mine just grabbing them with tweezers, and if you misplace one and have to peel it back up, FORGET IT!  If you want to see how they look, check out my review and you'll see what I mean:

For your project I'd probably go with Cobrastickers.com or J. Ruben repro HISS stickers.

That's pretty freaking awesome.  I'd get a set of custom numbers and make that sucker #001, to hell with the 25th Anniversary HISS having that #!

And btw I think having the Commander in the turret is a nice touch...if it were my Joeverse the "King HISS" would be his personal prototype HISS attack vehicle!  And honestly man, that is REALLY one of the nicest custom vehicles I've seen.  Just excellent work all the way around.  I can't wait to see it with stickers!

Wow!  This is sweet! 

There is only one thing that I have to suggest which I understand is quite hard to do and I could never do it myself.  The cockpit canopy looks kinda strange cause there's two canopies.  If there was only a way to meld them together or to cast a clear one piece one.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome and kickass the way it is.  Just for me, I'd prefer a one piece canopy.

I think the double canopy is a safety feature. The guy on the right ate at Taco bell and the guy on the left didn't.  :wink:

Double canopy was something I wanted to have from the start. having them opened individually makes the concept something complex and futuristic at the same time. Something definitively Joe-Cobra
