So I felt like doing something very different...and this is certainly it!
So as the modern Russian forces are building, they have selected this to replace the old BTR series of 8-wheeled that have been around since the late 50's/early 60's. Think of this as the US Stryker with the turret. So why this? Cause I threw a SOOPER-CHEEP bid out on a FB auction site..and won!
As stated, the vehcile is a multi-role vehicle, similar in concept to the Stryker:

SO this is my first Panda kit and I have to say, I like it! It is quite similar to the newer Academy kits, right down to the plastic color and instruction printing (Hmmm.......) Detail is VERY good, although some parts of PE Are really tiny & fiddly.
At any rate, here she sets at about 10-12 hours in (Note that shte upper hull is test fit only in some spots):
Note that the runnign gear has an amazing amount of detail
So this is where it sits, will post more when I have more...all the best!
