very nice. wow...i like those gun muzzles..so thin.

Good afternoon to all

I have built Panda Hobby 2S6. Sprue layout looks same as Panda especially tracks.
It took a lot of time and patience to put all parts together. Most difficult parts was tracks and gun assembly.
Cheers

Whether there really is a problem with the fit of the parts.. or whether the problem is only with my mediocre modelling skills... the important lesson I learned is to never buy a kit from a new manufacturer before reading a "build" review (not just an in-box review) about it first

If anyone is interested, I plan on building the interior for this one and perhaps the Meng kit.

Good luck Matt, it certainly is a good candidate for that with the bolted on turret roof.

It seems as though Hobbyeasy has lost my order. I paid two days after I received a request for funds. I never received a confirmation letter and my order history no longer lists the Shilka. I am hoping to hear back from them, today so I can get this straightened out.

Matt... check with them.. I had a problem when I was ordering mine and they said there was a problem with the message sever or something like that.. and I couldn't see my order in my history list.. but they fixed it later... Maybe I should have taken that as a bad omen

Given the cheaper price of the Meng kit and expected superiority, I'd say the Meng will be the more popular choice so I hope you make the interior for that kit as well.

I intend to do both. Had a small error, with payment. I'm hoping to get started, next week.

I moved on to the upper hull and gun assembly, and to be fair, I just want to revise the first impression.. the kit is a mixed bag.. some parts have good fit.. some have reasonable fit.. and some have very poor fit and need a lot of scraping and sanding. But I still stand by my initial opinion.. it's definitely not worth paying $53 for it.. especially since the MENG kit is going for $43.

I'll just stick it in the back of the closet for now and get the MENG kit when it's released.
