Hi;

They Both look pretty good to Me ! It will be interesting to see how the original Tamiya M1 hold's up against the Panda kit. As for the ZTZ-99 I really like the extra details except for the crew figures as I'm not Big into painting figures.

CHEERS; MIKE.

I have the kit. It's better than the Tamiya kit. There aren't a lot of pieces and the fit is average. The biggest issue I had was the barrel was awful. It isn't round in the cross section- more ovoid. Some PE and an AM barrel and it'll built up nice. The parts breakdown is basic so the hardest part would be the tracks
