You'll have to excuse me posting all sorts of things I find on this Rye Field Model release, but I'm pretty excited with their version of M-ATV. Here are the photos of sprues and parts included in the upcoming kit... very impressive!

In other words: Forget the Panda kit!

The kit looks beautiful. I will build it just for the challenge! BTW... I built the Panda kit and I loved it! It took work but I thought the end product was terrific. It certainly did not "fall together"; but it finished nicely. Sometimes Panda gets disparaged. I, on the other hand, am a fan of theirs for sure. I can't wait to build this one and "feel the difference". If have time to burn you can take a look at my M-ATV over at Charlottesville Modelers Club:

Ok, I’ve just ordered this from Hobbyeasy, along with the radio set, too. I’ll let you all know how it is on arrival. I expect it will be great, as you can see from the supplied images. Things I’ll be looking for are future versions, ie an SF vehicle. Clues will be flashed over holes or unused parts on the sprue (I want to do a camo’ed US SF version - with minigun). Help me Rob Skipper, you’re my only hope! And HP, too 😀

You’re welcome.

JLTV with Tri-color Woodland camo, meaning not every JLTV or M-ATV has to be painted in Desert Sand.

What I'd like to know is if the 1/35 Live-Resin USSOCOM M-ATV upgrade kits made for the Panda M-ATV would fit on the Rye-Field kit. Did anyone buy these options?

Kit arrived today, thank you Hobbyeasy, and all I can say is, ‘Wow’! This is an incredible kit, and you need one. Notwithstanding there is a page of corrections included for errors in the instructions, the detail and crispness is amazing. Good motivation to finish my hobbyboss Achzarit and get onto this.

The radio set is there, too. Whilst I would have preferred that as part of the kit, and the engine optional, it’s up to you what you spend your money on.
