Panda Hobby

<div style="font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; color: #333;"> Panda Hobby is the Chinese manufacturer that earned a loyal following by doing what bigger brands wouldn't: tooling modern military vehicles that modelers were asking for but nobody else was making. Since its first kit, the Oshkosh M-ATV in 2007, Panda has built a 1/35 scale range packed with cutting-edge Russian armor, U.S. MRAPs and route-clearance vehicles, advanced air-defense systems, and some unusual WWII German self-propelled guns. If you want a modern subject that stands out on the shelf, chances are Panda Hobby made it. <h3 style="font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; margin-top: 18px;">The Panda Hobby Range</h3> Next-Generation Russian Armor: Panda was among the first to bring Russia's new Armata family to the workbench. The range includes the T-14 Armata (Object 148) main battle tank, the T-15 Armata (Object 149) heavy IFV with its 57mm gun option, the tracked Kurganets-25 IFV and APC (Objects 695 and 693), and the wheeled VPK-7829 Bumerang. Air Defense: The range includes the large and impressive 9K37M1 Buk-M1 and 9A317 TELAR of the Buk-M2 missile systems, along with the 9K330 Tor. These are big, detailed kits that make great centerpieces, and dedicated metal track links are available for them. U.S. MRAP & Route Clearance: This is the hardware of Iraq and Afghanistan. It includes the Oshkosh M-ATV, MaxxPro Dash DXM, Buffalo A2 mine-protected clearance vehicle and Husky Mk.III VMMD mine detector. Panda also made SPARK and SPARK II mine rollers to fit on your MRAP builds. Main Battle Tanks and More: Panda also made the M1 Abrams and M1 IP Abrams, the M8 Armored Gun System, and PLA ZTZ-99A metal track sets. WWII Oddities: Panda also made German conversions on captured French Lorraine chassis: the 15cm sFH 13/1 (Sf) Sd.Kfz.135/1 and the 10.5cm leFH 18/40 "Becker" self-propelled howitzers. <h3 style="font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; margin-top: 18px;">Key Features</h3> <ul> <li>Subjects other brands don't make, especially modern Russian and U.S. vehicles</li> <li>Sensible engineering that builds well without a flood of tiny parts</li> <li>Detailed interiors on selected kits, such as the MaxxPro troop compartment</li> <li>Photo-etch and clear parts included in many kits</li> <li>Positionable doors and ramps on selected MRAPs, for open displays</li> <li>Accessories such as metal track links and mine rollers made for Panda's own kits</li> </ul> <h3 style="font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; margin-top: 18px;">Ideal For</h3> <ul> <li>Modern armor builders who want subjects not found in other brands' catalogs</li> <li>Fans of the latest Russian armor and air-defense systems</li> <li>Builders of Iraq and Afghanistan MRAP and route-clearance vehicles</li> <li>Diorama builders making modern convoy, checkpoint or combat engineer scenes</li> <li>Collectors filling gaps with kits that are getting harder to find</li> </ul> <h3 style="font-size: 16px; color: #2c3e50; margin-top: 18px;">Shop Panda Hobby at AFVHobbyHub.com</h3> Many Panda Hobby kits are no longer easy to find, so grab the subjects you want while they're on the shelf.
