I did a few paint mods to mine. I realize others are probably fine with the "factory settings". And I get it. But, I really wanted to make this thing "mine". This is just how I think of a HISS tank. Basic black and red with differing black finishes to create texture and depth. In my opinion some of the paint mods they added after campaign close were too busy. Also noticed that if the mini-guns are mounted according to the instructions who ever is in the gunner nest gets sprayed with hot brass. So, in my head canon the mini-guns are operated remotely OR slaved to the main canons. I can't wait for some of these 3D Modelers to start creating custom things to switch the seat and weapons rack. Like a wall computer and joystick so a gunner could use the mini-guns remotely. There isn't much room in that nest for another gunner. Don't get me wrong I like the seat and rack. It would just be fun to switch it up.

1. Painted over the purple on the canons and barrels with matte black
2. Painted over red on wheel cover fins with matter black
3. Masked off the gun metal on wheel covers, painted it matter black to match the pattern on the lower section of the main body
4. Masked off then painted the "metal" frame areas of the canopy matter black
5. Painted the Gunner Shield Cobra Sigil red.

Then hit those areas with a matte black top coat. Very happy with the results. The matte black finish works great with the semi-gloss finish of everything else.
