If the Panda kit is anything like the Cougar/MATV then the AFV Club kit will be far superior.

Definitely will be getting this one.

Where can you buy this kit? As the one i ordered from hobby easy will not be released until late february and they use to get afv club kits fast...

Cheers Darren, now this looks like another great kit. Great news for modellers everywhere but not wallets....

This model was sent to us by AFV Club direct, and I do not believe it is currently available.

Shame that the kit is missing the little bottle under the rear stairs that contains the red ink for the marking system and that spelling error, commector !
