As seen here, https://toylandhobbymodelingmagazinepublishing.wordpress.com/2018/01/21/1-35-ph35007-ph35027-2-atvs-soon/

Makes for some choice now, with a few of these on the market.

They are actually M-ATVs (MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle), but they do look nice.



The one with the Objective Gunner Protection Kit (OGPK) manned turret is an M1240, it becomes an M1240A1 when fitted with the Underbody Improvement Kit (UIK).

The one fitted with CROWS remote-controlled weapon station (RCWS) is an M1277.

The green camo version looks really nice.. So on that version you can not use the duke antennas? Or have they just not only not included them...

So is 35007 just the same as their previous M-ATV with CROWS II? The kit numbers are the same.

Panda Hobby, not Kittyhawk. The latter is the same company's brand for all and only their aircraft releases.

According to some insider of this project these 2 M-ATV have some significant improvements of their previous molds. which means it now has much better fitting than their first release. Up to the standard of their newly released Maxxpro w/DXM suspension

As with any new company panda had some early kit issues. Just like in there kittyhawk line of planes they have gotten better with every molding. Just wanted to drop this here before the normal panda bashing starts. Remember the scud out Dragon put out in there early days. I am just happy to have new odd subjects.

If 35007 is improved, I hope they change the box art or something- their old kit is still out there with the same kit number

The Maxxpro is definitely an improvement over the M-ATV, but still has some fit issues, basic interior with missing radios and the nets behind the seats, awkwardly placed knock out pins and misaligned mold seams

Not 100% sure but I think the only place that the US has the green cammo'd vehicles is S. Korea. As such, I highly doubt that they would need Duke or any of the other anti-IED devices mounted.
