East - wait till you get to the suspension, you will want to rip your face off. I have a fair amount of patience but when i saw how horrible it was I freaking chucked...............freaking kit is an abomination. Good work so far and stick with it if ya can buddy.

I got a chat from a friend who own a kinetic kit, since he doesn't have plans to build it, volunteered and give it a try, as it also struck me that I had a pending Panda MATV, so why not finish an old dog with an old dog too, right? lets see who will prevail with the worst fittings. LOL  on progress with the interior of both kits, eats more time fitting the parts and gluing them together both kits have flaws, especially on the instruction... well its just plastic and if there's will, there is always a way....  In progress of the kinetic kit as much that I like to build the Panda simultaneously it has already move for the last 3 years after being in the slump...  until soon then!!! more updates to come!!! Cheers!!! |

Well I'll this on my friend, Dupes for bringing the kinetic kit and it struck me why not continue the Panda kit too, its been sitting on the shelf for to long... Below is the V-Shaped hull left is the panda kit as you can guys they have different moldings each has it different flaw... or Flaws, some points needed to be molded in not part by part in just my humble 2 cents opinion.  partial chassis build of the two kits, lots of glue that needed to be clean, work on the adjustment remove the guild pins, fill and sand... then repeating the same process to make it more like a kit.   Cheers!!! |

Like a blast in the past indeed, Bill. Now I can see the finish line when past years looks meek and dark Assembly done on the Panda suspension parts one that needs a lot of patience, still sanding and scrapping is needed but will test fit first on the chassis to save sometime on this beast.  Cheers!!! |

WIPping the one of the beast (Panda) now I can see it clearly the M2 is unusable and I had to resort the Mk19. test shows it will need some work on the fillers on the front cab. rear compartment has some puzzle issues need to test fit and tape it first before securing with the CA glue. some modification is also need on the suspension in order to fit the parts or have to rework on the part itself. there is also an instruction malfunction that you need to recheck on references.   Cheers!!! |

Decided to push thru first with the Kinetic in the meantime but I will still work with the Panda. have to sand and scrape a lot in order the parts to fit or let say look more good instead of being a Beast of an kit...   Next is the attachment of the wheels as I've notice it does not fit on the axle hub, as I need to drill a much larger hole, aligned the wheels so it will stand on all fours... before I could finish the paint and weathering. |

Well I got side track with my builds... I got a newborn daughter that I need to focus... but will manage anytime free time that I got to build but not fast as I used to be... Most of the parts been re-fitted on the cab for correction and repairs, it is more of a improvement rather than finishing it as it is... Below is the Kinetic kit and The Panda will follow suit...   Cheers!!! |
