I did some searching and I guess the proper radio for the Maxxpro is the Harris radio. Is this still not available in 35th? M Kinetic radio rack between the seats just looks so empty, but I don't want to just stick anything in there.

Didn`t ProArt produce a replacement Harris for the Panda or Kinetic M-ATV?

AN/VRC-110 is included in the kit, it's sprue K from their M-ATV kit. You just have to add the 2 AN/PRC-152 and scratch the mount that they sit in. Also, the Maxxpro can have either a SINCGAR/ASIP setup or Harris set up or even both in it, just have to make sure you attach correct antenna's for the radios.

If the Kinetic kit is so far out of scale as claimed, wouldn't it stand to reason that any 1/35 accessories would look out of place on it? (other than personal kit, of course) Just wondering aloud.

Do you mean the MATV kit radios/accessories would be too big? It's the MATV that was claimed to be out of scale, not the MAXXPRO.

Indeed. I somehow glossed right over the TITLE and the first response, jumping to H-H's post mentioning the Kinetic M-ATV.
I won't blame it lack of coffee or bad lighting though.

Another question...What goes between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. There is a 2 level rack there...any suggestions? The radio goes in the rack behind the drivers seat, correct? I really know nothing about this stuff.

In the rack behind the driver, I have on the top shelf, the 2 SINCGAR/ASIP radio's. The second shelf has the empty SATCOM radio mount. In between the driver and passenger is the Harris setup and underneath that is the CPU for the FBCB2.
