Panda lists a "new" M-ATV kit. I assume this is the old kit plus parts to update it to an M1240A1

Interesting news Jason. It would figure that they'd release one with the mirrors just as I received Ettore's mirrors from Shapeways! I might have to get one and just use the other for parts.

Regards,

Eric

That always seems to be the way. Hopefully they release the M1245 Special forces variant

Jason, I really hope so! I want to do two eventually and an M1245 if done right would be great.

I really wonder if they improved any of the parts from the previous boxings.

I also wonder what are differences between M1240 and M1240 A1.

Other than the aforementioned mirrors, I honestly don't know.

M1240A1 have got an Underbody Improvement Kit (UIK). And this is the main reason of renaming the type, mirrors - I guess - are just a small additions.
M1240, without UIK:

M1240A1, with UIK:

First Panda's model, no UIK:

If UIK will be included in this new one - who knows?
