It is missing its stickers, there are repro GI Joe stickers I think but I want the Action Force ones.

Wow, I love that tank. I shall put one on my want list immediately. I think it looks great in its original colours and with AF stickers would be awesome. Love the photo's and that AT-AT really made me chuckle. Nice one Hypnotoad.

I have a Mauler too but can't decide which squad to paint it as! Always loved this Geoff Seniot cover piece.

Great find for £15, which pieces are missing?

The two driver hatches on the front open to hold figures. On the side there are two storage bins just under the turret ring and on the rear deck there are two engine covers. So its fairly detailed, more so than a wolverine or Mobat.

Its missing the two rear aerials, one grenade launcher on the turret and the always missing tow rope (not to be confused with the tow rope from the Wolverine).

But like I said the biggest missing piece are the stickers, though I kinda like it without them, makes it look more realistic if that makes sense.

Here's one with its stickers but I was outbid :-x

Alyosha makes repro aerials, tow ropes and smoke bomb launchers but youll probably pay more for the repros than for the tank...
