Both companys have problems and both have kits that are hard to build. In this case, I think will win the first that start to sale.

Come on now, Marco... comparing between AFV Club kits which may be "a little difficult to build" with Panda kits where you sit there praying that you will find one single part in the whole kit that might fit where it should... is a great injustice to AFV Club.. and I'm speaking from experience with kits from both companies

Have you tried building a Panda kit yet?

Yes looks unusual thus interesting. I don't think that AFV kits hard to build, they are one of the best in the market. Usually AFV take their time and not rush.

Well I will not have experience with PANDA in the past but I think that it worth to see how they deal with this baby, I think that they need to do some progress from kit to kit.

Take it easy my friend!

I have the Panda's worst nightmare: The M-ATV, and I never had enought courage to start build.

I build AFV's models and, as I said, all of them showed me some problems. The Wisel PE, for exemple, is horrible, the 6 parts LVTP-5 hull isn't so good too...

But, as I'm don't have money now and in the near future I'll have enought time to wait and see people building both models. Then I'll chose one.

Cheers!

No way Hisham. I was kidding! I think you're right (in part).

C'mon man... We are friends!

Don't comment much here; but I wanted to tell you all that I built Panda's M-ATV and it really was not that hard. Sure it took some patience; but it went together quite nicely. I encourage everyone who has one to give it a go. Better than leaving it on the shelf to gather dust. My build is on the Panda website (the owner wrote and requested the photos) and can be found at Track-Link at: http://www.track-link.com/gallery/8667 Cheers, Mike

I know we're getting a bit off topic here but thats the first positive word I've heard about the Panda M-ATV which is good news as I think is the nicest looking modern wheeled vehicle. I have it lined up to start after my Bronco Buffalo

I don't think you should worry... I've said this several times before.. by modelling skills are mediocre at best, so it's probably me and not the Panda kits

Sorry for derailing the thread, Darren
