Chris Johnson reviews Panda Hobby’s 4th 1/35 scale offering, a BMD-1 Infantry Fighting Vehicle.The BMD-1 was the first amphibious fully tracked vehicle that was designed for airborne troops. It could be either landed from an airplane in the usual way or para-dropped at heights from 300 m to 1500 m.

A quicker/easier solution to the suspension arm problem is to put the hull on blocks to give it the proper ground clearance and put the arms in with the lower ends or wheels resting on the table. That would probably save you about nine hours off the build!
