Looking good Pacal.
The suspension seems complicated, is it easy to level up the assembly?

On the M-ATV, the Duke is not inside the cab, but rather on the rear cab outside wall. I see Panda included the bracket, but not the DUKE itself. I don't know if anyone makes an aftermarket DUKE but they should, it's easy enough to scratch build. I guess I'll have to start on my own for my upcoming M-ATV and MaxxPro's.

Hi Steve
Is the DUKE a single-unit system or not ?
Here's a picture of the DUKE V3 that shows 2 units (or is the one on the right the upgraded version ?
) :
To make things a bit more complicated, I've even found this...

That's not really important. The bigger box is the one that we had with that third smallest being a seperate control panel forward in the cab.

Looks good, only recommendation is to take the rear fenders and make them a sort of semi gloss black rather than flat black. They are an ABS like plastic and are a bit shiny, not very flat looking.

I am currently working on my M-ATV, it is not for the begining modeled. The kit is very difficult to assemble a ton of small parts and the instructions...well they are so bad they confuse you more then help you. The wheels are horrible you will need after market resin wheel to make it look right.
Pascal you did an awesome job with yours I can tell you put in a lot of time and effort in your model I'm not sure if I can get mine to look as good as yours.

Coming along great! Few painting tips. The panels that cover the engine inside the wheel wells, paint them the same semi gloss black you used for your rear fenders. The cross antennae circular base on the rear, paint the top flat black. The exhaust is a bit too rusty, keep in mind the oldest operational M-ATV is only like 2 years old. The exhausts were usually a flat black color with some discoloration from the heat and some minor surface rust. Also, with the cargo area, make sure everything back there is tied down with some type of strap. I look forward to seeing more of your progress on this.
