The HISS

December 5, 2008

The HISS tank, the quintessential armored vehicle of Cobra.

 

It carries twin 90mm cannons in a rear turret and has a platform at the back for two more Cobra Vipers to stand on.

 

Can a Cobra force be complete without it?

The HISS used in these photos is the 25th Anniversary version. I replaced the driver, Rip-it, with a Viper Pit trooper. One of my favorite Cobra vehicles, I’m now looking for other versions, specially the HISS 2 which is an infantry fighting vehicle (with a troop compartment) and the DTC HISS, which features missiles as its main armament, instead of the cannons.

These photos were taken at Sanam Luang Park 2 near my apartment. My son, Paulo, as always, had helped me in setting up. My older daughter, Isabelle also lent a hand.
