I only got to send the photos of the Pro Art components to Pete last night, so the delay is mine, not Petes. He's going to use those photos to show what gets connected to what

Just a quick update on the wiring diagrams for the radios following a chat with Pete this morning. Firstly, Pete has expanded the scope to a bit more than drawing up some wiring diagrams: he's going to do a full tutorial. That's the good news. The bad news is that because of the expanded scope and some laptop issues he's having it's going to take a few days longer than he planned. But it is on the way....watch this space! And a big "Thank You" to Pete/Epi for this.

Apologies but I've been a bit distracted outside the hobby recently, lost the mojo and not making much progress on this. Bits here and there but not taking detailed photos or updating the build log. And trying to wire the radios nearly drive me insane despite Pete's great help, so I gave up on that Mullarkey. Anyway here are a few pics that show some of the progress
It is a difficult kit and build but turning out quite nice. I have since starting gone and bought two more Panda kits 😀

Thanks Roger.
Thanks Jay. It's not an easy kit and does require lots of time and patience and dry-fitting and fileing and drilling and sanding and more dry-fitting but I'm actually quite happy with how it's turning out

Sean... Having built one of Panda's M-ATVs, I can unequivocally say you have done a great job. Reviewers say it is a tough kit to build; but sometimes a tough kit is just what you need. There are plenty of "shake and Bake" kits out there. This one challenges the builder... and you took it on and it looks great. Can't wait to see it through to the end.

Looking good. My build is on hold as I get a bit frustrated working with the difficult fit etc. Hope mine turns out half as nice as yours.

But cameras have improved since 😀

Calling this one done. A challenging build but very pleased with the result. Pro-Art radio set inside and lots of bits from the spares box for stowage. Main colour is Humbrol acrylic 237 and washed with AK OIF wash. All other colours are Vallejo acrylics.

Thanks for following and all the encouragement.

Nice one There are some areas without wash, in some places wash isn't removed perfectly, but generally - i like this model very much. As I wrote some days ago - great progress, I'm anxious to see Your next one.
There is a handle between doors missing, isn't it? And I guess the CROWS monitor has strange angle of mounting inside. Both things are visible at the last photo.

Thanks Gents 😀 And yes washes are not my strong point.
Not got to check the carpet monster for that missing handle....

Give me a day or 2 and I will have some good wiring diagrams drawn up along with pictures.
Don't go by the pictures of the Pro Art set. It is all wrong. I haven't seen what the instructions show, so I don't know if it right on them.
What comes in the Pro Art set is a AN/VRC-110 with 2 AN/PRC-152 in it. I will start with that first. The picture below shows what comes in the Maxx Pro kit and it doesn't have the PRC-152 mounted.
So guys, gather up your fine wire or solder wire, go through your spares box for extra "hand mikes," and I will get back with you guys shortly.
Pete,
are the wiring diagrams that you mention in this post available somewhere ?
After almost one year of stop I'm back on the M-ATV build and I really would like to wire all the communication equipments.
Thanks
