I'd say it came out more than just "quite good"

Looks awesome!

Agree, very nice work. The stryker looks strange with this turret, I'm not yet accustomed to.

Really nice work. I like the way you did not over weather this model something that I think I do to much of on my projects. This is something I want to try more of thanks for showing this, it gives me a good baseline for weathering of my next model. Now if I could get my skills to your level of master.

VERY NICE, Jason! I'm going to have to hunt one of these up to add to the rest of my Strykers...

I will be doing the build review when I receive the kit from Jim and Darren.

Otherwise, Jason, you did an awesome job.

Very impressive, Jason!

Amazing that Panda created a model of the M1296 in a short amount of time.

To be honest, I am not convinced with this kit. The dislike mis-sing studs for Slat armor on turrat and the missins add-on armor on the rear ramp. I also wonder if they replicated the driver Enhancement Kit in all its complexity or just the front mounting? The position of the main gun is wrong, it should be 45°. Another poor kit from Panda, I rather put my money into the AFV Club release.

Does it come with the double V hull or the usual old hull?
