...Hey guys...sorry for the OT but....

have you noticed that this image looks like those that Bronco does?





...would it be the same company with a different name?

Anyway, great news indeed!

Hi Gabor, yes... a great news!
I also found nothing on the company´s webpage.
But the company itself is a new one and made only a few kits.
I also would buy more than one kits.

Mauro, I also noticed, that the "layout" and overall-look looks nearly identical to the Bronco-kits.
Also as I remember correctly, Panda Models announced their Tunguska-kit many, many years ago.

I also think, that Panda is a co-operation-company with Bronco, because Bronco is longer in business, made more kits and have more experience in this sector.

(possibly comparable with Trumpeter and HobbyBoss, I think)

greetings...

that's what I suspect...

However, if it were true, It would be great because Bronco products on average are really stunning

Now this is a cool looking kit!! Was it used in chechnya?
As I know nothing about modern Russian does it also mount multi barrel cannon & rockets?
Does anyone else but Russia use it?

Actually I don't think Panda is associated with Bronco in the way that Trumpeter and Hobby Boss co-exist, or Dragon/Cyber Hobby.

Riich and Bronco, now that is like Dragon/Cyber Hobby, Trumpeter/Hobby Boss, Peanut Butter and Jam.

As far as the promo sheets looking the same, could just be that they use the same publishing company.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

I've been waiting so long for a plastic 2S6M1 model in 1/35! And to whoever asked - they are in service in Russia, India, Morocco, and Ukraine to my knowledge. Check it out being a total badass in this video:

A very smart choice to make this vehicle. Many Soviet AFVs use this suspension and roadwheels, I see great potential in this kit.

If the suspension is as good as it looks, I would love to see it sold as a seperate kit.

Here's hoping that the target tracking radar antenna is not undersized like it is on the 5-Star resin offering!

I bought the 5-Star (resin) kit some months ago, but did not started building it.
If I have the Panda-kit, I can make a comparison.

The target search radar on the top.
The fire control (round) is on his nose, in front.

In August, the stock is received, the manufacturer responded to my letter. :-)
So wait for a bit ....
