Today I started build two models of the M-ATV. One Panda Models and a Kinetic.
First I started with a staff of frame and chassis Panda model. At first look, the model is very detailing, perhaps in some cases very much. Looks like a good model.
For less advanced modellers, construction can be problematic. The model contains a large amount of PE parts, which are more advanced and designed very experienced modelers and professionals.
During the construction of the chassis I found some shortcomings in instruction sheets. Missing or incorrectly labeled parts. I used wheels set from my produce RMA 35224.

Hi Milo,
Could you please post up your findings on the errors with the instructions. I think it would help all us builders of this kit.

Yes there is a new set of wheels specially for the kinetic kit from DEF Model.

One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.

Which one would you rate better and more accurate: Panda or Kinetic?

Having the Kinetic kit, and seen a number of build-logs I'm pretty sure that the Kinetic one is a bit easier to build, but is overscaled, closer to 1/32 than 1/35.
Its overall details are also on the soft side...
I should say go for the Panda kit.
It's not too much, but it's all we got...

Thanks!
Can anyone confirm Panda is more accurate and true-to-scale?
