Whatever the manufacturer, I don't think the Baja 1000 variant will be included in the box

This is from a new company called Panda Models (any relation to the old Panda Models???) and I just got an e-mail from Pacific Coast Models saying that they are the importer for this new line.

They have a couple of pictures up...but too small to see any real detail. The info sheet looks alot like a Bronco one however....may just be coincidence, or they both use the same printer or something.

Wow this just gets better and better! An M-ATV and MPCV in one month? Patience has served us well, and for $45.00 I'm a happy camper. Looks decent from all the CAD drawings so far, can't wait to have this on the bench. Just imagine what the near future holds.

FINALLY!! I want an MATV in my collection, but I wasn't about to shell out 200 bucks for a resin kit. All we need now is a MaxxPro!

It appears that Kinetic AND Panda Hobbies are releasing competing kits, according to Saul

That would be really interesting if indeed two companies are coming out with the M-ATV at the same time!

He posted a pic of the poster that's a little clearer if anyone's interested.

Whats nice is that they seem to have figured out a way to tackle the seats correctly. Only photos from nationals will tell. Either way I'm getting 2 or 3 of them as soon as they come out

So DAMN excited

Not much of a modern military guy, but I already pre-ordered this one. I saw one of these beasts at JSOH at Andrews this year. The sheer size of it is impressive. Very cool!

Comparing it to my photos, the proportions seem to be spot on. Understanding that this is only a test shot, it does appear to be missing three panel lines for the lower armor plate. It may just be the lighting, but I don't see them. Easy enough to scribe in I suppose.
