The Cougar is still sitting there on the shelf.. every time I sit at the desk, it keeps staring at me.. taunting me to start working on it again.. 
I guess I will get back to it one of these days.. I mean, as much as I'd like to, I'm not going to throw it away

Wow, is it that bad? May be I should give up the idea of having it.

Well, I, ((PERSONALLY)), wouldn't advise you to get Panda's Cougar.. It is "buildable" in the end, but I just think that no kit should be this much hard work simply to get parts to fit.. And of course, Meng's 6X6 has that problem with the length... but I think if we wait, it wouldn't surprise me to see a 4X4 by Meng.. with the correct length this time

Hi, Thanks Roger
I think it is a good kit over all, great fit( I give it 10 out of 10 for that), I am happy with it except the OGPK(quite a few noticeable mistakes), Legend offers a lot more details, but you have to pay triple and I prefer plastic kit.
I will love to see the DFE conversion.

There is no folding line on the PE(AC cover), so the bending Will take some time.

Hi, sean
Just downsized and moved to a one bed room apartment not long ago, It is gonna take me a while to find and set up a spot for painting.

Hi May I ask where did you get the interior details from?
I have tried searching the web for after market sets but can't find any...
Thanks.

This is the moment, when the model looks almost as impressive, as painted one - all these aftermarket and scratched parts in different colors look great. So the decision to start painting will be very hard

Hi, David
Voyager has the Updated set.
http://www.voyagermodel.com/productdetails.asp?itemid=PE35682 As for my build, I used pro art MRAP radio set, Voyager Humvee seatbelt set and headphones are from live resin, the rest of the parts were built from scratch.

Hello Jay,
Truly amazing work of art on the MRAP thus far good sir. I would like to know where you found the tow line and hook? I searched the web for a modern set but all I found dated back to WW II models...
Anyways, thanks for sharing the pics. Lots to learn from on this site, makes my work look so elementary.
Regards,
JGphins
