Heya, Folks,

Does anyone know if Panda' new M-ATV kit of the M1240A1 (#35027) has been re-tooled or upgraded from the original M-ATV kit (#35001)??

I've heard that the original kit was quite an arduous experience due to a lot of PE along with fit issues...

Has the new Panda M-ATV release been changed to improve the kit engineering, hopefully making for a more pleasant modeling experience?

I know that Kinetic had stated that they would be re-engineering their M-ATV, something I was hoping for, but that was a couple of years ago.

Inquiring minds want to know...

Thanks in advance!!!

With Regards and Aloha,

I dont know if it have been improved, it's still the same photo etched sets in the kit, and the parts look the same, and the instructions have still wrong numbers on parts, i have both of them, i just finished the new m-atv from panda models and i had no trouble to build it like the stories i have heard of it.. It's a very cool kit., but ofcourse not tamiya quality..
Here is my build of it ..

Johnny, as far as I can tell from a very close exam the kit is exactly the same with some new parts. There has been no improvement of the existing parts.
