red shadow hyena / cobra hiss tank

[springfield]

does any one know how to take this apart other than the turret and canopy as i was talking to cobra stickers.com and they are considering doing a sheet for the rs heyna and if they do i plan on painting 1 of my hiss tanks in the red shadow colours but it would be so much easier to paint if i could remove the tracks / base of the vechile.i can see what looks like tabs but the joints are VERY tight and i dont want to force it and break it if what looks like the connecting tabs are not tabs at all,thanks

The tracks are held on by two large tabs seen down through the turret mounting hole but they are very hard to "open" without risking a breakage. If you have any old shell laying around I would test on that first

hi those are the very 2 tabs im talking about and like you say they are EXTREMLY tight.will have to try find a decent used 1 as all of mine are the 25th annaversary type and all in excllent condition and i dont want to risk damaging or breaking any of them

i did exactly that a couple of years ago, i broke the tabs from a hyena trying to take it a part i haven't tried since.
