Hello all! I just bought the Panda M-ATV with CROWS II. I have seen mention of the instructions for kit 35001 having many errors. Were these errors corrected with the release of 35007? My first impression of the kit is that they need to pay their packers better money. I have numerous broken parts that were caused when the parts were placed into the box. I also noticed one small error that it a bit annoying. The driver vision enhancement system depicted in the box art looks like the correct one seen in many photos of the M-ATV but the instructions show a completely different one! Not often you see errors like that from companies with decent quality control. Overall, I think the kit will build up into an amazing model.

I have their ATV MRAP. Horrible. Many small parts with large sprue attachments. Very poor fit even after eliminating the misaligned locator pins. Takes a lot of work and patience. I can only work on it sporadically as it is a frustrating build although it should eventually produce a good looking finished product. Good luck.

I have read about all of the issues with the kit. It is the only game in town if you want to build this amazing vehicle.

I may be wrong about the instructions. I may be thinking about the Kinetic kit's instructions.

There are errors in the instructions, but not too many and they are obvious as you go along. Biggest problem is fit of parts. By build log is here: http://forum.ipmsireland.com/topic/11462154/1/
