After their 1/35 M-ATV MRAP (LINK), Panda will release a 1/35 2S6M Tunguska/SA-19 Grison (LINK)!



Way cool!  :icon_beer:

Candidate platform for the hovercraft conversion is readily available with real rubber skirt from the Trumpeter LCAC Hovercraft kit and the 1:72nd scale LCAC is now on sale at Squadron :)

the Panda Object 279 is out & built on Missing Lynx ...... ok apart from crude & inaccurate surface finish on the front  :(
Priced at AU $44 + shippng from HobbyEasy.

Seems the Amusing Hobby kit is the same mould, perhaps less the PE fret.

Another in-box review of the Panda 1/35th scale, M8 Armored Gun System/Light Tank (Kit Number PH 35039) courtesy of Modeling Madness/Scott Van Aken. 


(Image source: ModelingMadness/Scott Van Aken)


More information on the M8 AGS/LT > Wikipedia > M8 Armored Gun System


I was under the impression that Panda would be offering the M8 AGS with the additional ERA package that was proposed for operation in higher threat environments.  Perhaps that will be seen as a second kit?
