Running Press 1/50th scale Gi Joe Cobra HISS Tank (comparison of the RP and AS)

Here's two more shots.

First with a Heroclix Batman, a Copplestone agent and a 1/72 soldier


A top cockpit shot.

Seems much closer to 1:72/20mm.

Hello all, just created an account to post on this topic, so apologies if this doesn't show up right.

They're a little small for 28mm.



And here's a pic alongside the HISS mini-drones.

But the size it should be the same that the Arctic skunk tank, so the AS is small too. However if it is too small I will use as a toy and play with it

[Redmao]

I'm looking forward to seeing it along your Cobra troopers.

White knight bought one too, so he could do a comparison size with his Arctic skunk hiss tank.

I'd be very happy with that for my 20mm stuff tbh....not that I can come even close to affording them from Amazon. Maybe I'll get lucky and find them at the toy store soon 

[Redmao]

I found my in a bookstore.
The light feature is pretty strong and I think my wife got tired of hearing the PEW PEW sound coming out of my office

[Tongster]

I think they're fine on the table for 28mm; my skinnier 28s would fit in the gun pit.

My Running Press hiss tank is arrived. Here some photos with my miniatures. Personally I think it is PUUUUURfect! The size is good if you want a small hiss tank as the toy version, nice for 28mm miniatures, maybe less for heroic scale miniatures (or maybe not). I tried to include a driver too, it seem fine. I just need to do some easy conversions to the driver and it will fit well. Seem that this tank was done for our miniatures. If somebody like a bigger hiss tank, it is available (as many yet know) the heroic scale version by Arctic Skunk. He has done 15mm, 28mm and heroic scale versions.

Looks good to me!

[Redmao]

Looks pretty nice indeed.

Picture done by White Knight: a comparison of the Running Press and Arctic Skunk Hiss tank.

Some notes:
- The arctic skunk tank is the non-heroic version, so if you're looking for bigger, the heroic version may work for you,
- It's hard to tell which is bigger or smaller. The AS tank has a longer and ever so slightly wider body, but the RP one has added height. The canopy seems to be about the same size on both, with the RP one being wider at the front and the AS one slimmer in the front but wider in the back (so more V-shaped). Estimated cockpit size seems similar.
- In some places, the AS one has more detail than the RP one (e.g. the nose detail, the more accurate guns, the front of the suspension/lower body), but in other places it is the other way around (clear canopy for the cockpit, track mechanism (though the AS details are certainly sufficient to give the right impression),....

So really, there is no clear winner here, both have their merits.

[Redmao]

I'd say the winner is the person who owns both so he can have double the fun
I think that the RP's advantage is the price. $13 vs $46.
