I quite like some of their products -mostly the Tunguska and TOR M!. However I can't find any info on these kits; how are they? Are they any good? (Even their website is inactive/down.)

I am currently working through a review for Armorama on the TOR-M. It will be done soon (I promise...really). Panda kits, all of them, are a challenge but they can be built into nice replicas. They just take advanced skills.
An earlier thread here at Armorama covers it a bit more for you.

My Tunguska kit's lower hull was warped rather bad. Even after a good soak in hot water and a pile of books on it for a week, it still is not flat. I'm going through round 2 of the hot water soak now. I'm also currently building the TOR-M. The tracks in the kit aren't the same as depicted on the instructions, and some of the parts do not fit correctly with them

Thank you all for the response... I think I'll skip this kit then for now.
