http://www.moxing.net/2018/0425/8945.html was looking for something else when I happened to see this gem.

Hi;

This is the second rendering of the ZBD-04, the first being Hobbyboss and Panda's kit looks really nice. I will add this to my collection for sure.

CHEERS; MIKE.

The one from Panda seems to have some kind of add-on armour,
04A vs straight 04.


According to this page on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZBD-04

The ZBD-04A (industrial designation WZ502G, sometimes referred to as ZBD-08) is an improved variant that sacrifices amphibious performance for better armor protection; add-on armor can be fitted, and the frontal arc can withstand 30 mm rounds along with side skirts added. Although the vehicle is still amphibious, able to propel itself by its tracks to ford lakes and rivers, it lacks waterjets and can no longer operate in open sea.[5][6][7]

ZBD-04A AT

Is it allowed to start hoping for the ARV ??

Thanks! It died due to lack of space. There has to be an empty space in front of http..., by mistake I had typed "...pedia:http..." without a space and that killed the link.
