This has been needed for years. Long before I had a 3D printer, I rigged an extra Persuader turret to mate with the DTC era HISS with the missile launchers. FYI, the vehicle at 3:00 is an M163 VADS, which was a 20mm vulcan mounted on an M113. It was supposed to be a stop-gap ADA piece in the '80s when the Mauler SAM didn't work out. But the VADS had a range much lower than that of the missiles on Russian heliciopters, so it wasn't much use in the AA role, and I think it was only ever used against ground targets. In fact, the radar it has was for targeting only -- search was done by the guy in the turret -- because there was no point giving it a radar with a much better range than the weapon itself.
Wow that's some great info. Definitely don't want to have less range than the thing you're trying to shoot down! Thanks for watching and the great comment.
Such a cool custom idea, the gunner is now fully protected! BTW I love the Warthog one too, exactly what the toy should have come with instead of those two big yellow missiles
I do need to paint that. It was a really fun project but I had a super small printer at the time. It was 1/35th scale. You're right and I should revisit it. Thanks for watching.
love this! if you're taking ideas for other HISS turrets in particular, maybe an AT missile launcher so it actually could deal with tanks, maybe based on or inspired by Scrap Iron's launcher?
That's awesome! If you're looking for more hiss turret ideas, id like to see your own version of a rail gun. Kinda like what you did with the iron panther! Love your work 👍
Finally a HISS turret they Isn't a complete death trap for It's gunner, also I've been working on my own custom stuff for awhile and I should have a video or two on It soon and you should definitely check It out once It's ready I think you'll like It. Also Just to clarify the M61 Vulcan 20mm Is a much higher caliber then the GAU-19 .50 BMG
A dedicated troop carrier would be cool. I remember reading the find your fate gijoe operation dragonfire has a Hiss troop transport in it. No guns open top like a halftrack.
very nice. I didn't see if the guns can elevate or not. Gattling guns are a nice touch, though I also like the idea of a heavy blaster gun like the original too. Mabe you could make a heavy gun version for versatility in the tank.
They aren’t on a swivel but are held in by friction so they can removed or tilted. I’m thinking of making other cannons, mortars, or sensors that could be placed in the slots to mix things up.
Excellent 🔥
Thank you.

That looks great! I wish more people would create custom stuff like this.
Thanks so much.

Thank you so much. And I think you'll like the new warthog turret when it's complete. Thanks for watching.
Another awesome custom! Keep up the great work! Love seeing all the new stuff you make!!
Thank you. Glad you like them!
looks great - would be cool if you mimicked the riveting from the hiss. The single line with dots design.
Super cool...
I thought about it but really like that new modern armor. Maybe I'll do a more retro one someday. Thanks for watching.
Sweet turret! Reminds me of the Star Wars mini-rig, MLC-3 Mobile Laser Cannon, in shape.
I had to google that and you’re right. I just need to make a clear bubble hatch. 🙂
You should make the turret go more over the front so it would look even cooler. Wow another awesome creation
Cool idea. I had a bigger turret but it looked sort of top heavy but I didn't try going forward. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant work man! This looks incredible! This is a great way to get more play value out of your toys.
Thanks so much 👍
That mech carrier was super cool you need to show it some love and paint It Up.

Thanks Beach. That's a fun idea. I'm going to end up with a fleet of variants :)

Thanks. That sounds great.
Your doing AMAZING Work.
Thank you 👍
You always have cool designs. Great Job!
Thanks Gi Dad!
Well done !
Thank you 👍
I think the turret from the Retaliation HISS is compatible with the vintage mold HISS.👍
That's good to know. I don't have one of those.
A dedicated troop carrier would be cool. I remember reading the find your fate gijoe operation dragonfire has a Hiss troop transport in it. No guns open top like a halftrack.
There is all that space in the back. It would be a fun variant.
Good stuff sir
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching.
Love mine!
That so awesome to hear. Thanks for leaving a comment. I'm so glad to know that you're enjoying it.
fan freakin tastic!
Thanks so much!

@@ActionRobotPunch that sounds like a good idea
But for sure make it larger so it goes more over the front but you would have to turn it to the side to open the canopy
Thanks!
Great work, just a question: Will it work with the DTC HISS?
It’s not designed for that. I don’t have one. Does the classic hiss turret work with it?
@@ActionRobotPunch Have not tried it, but I think they are different. I think the turret that you designed might also look cool with the DTC HISS.
I missed the turrets!
I didn't think they'd sell out so fast. I was able to put a few more up in the store. Thanks watching.
😎👍
Thanks Terry!
66 cad dam dude.
Thanks for watching 🐍
