1/35 VPK7829 Bumerang Object K16 Armored Personnel Carrier (New Tool)

A very average kit. The details are nice and I'm glad that Panda Hobby went the extra mile to make a model of a vehicle that has just recently entered service with the Russian armed forces. The rafters are arranged nicely and the instructions are clear and concise. However, the photo etch is very flimsy and often bends where it isn't supposed to. There is a considerable amount of flashing on the parts and the ejector marks are very large and a pain to completely remove, and the overall fit of the parts is not the best. The small and thin parts (railings, side view mirrors and the antennas are very fragile and some of the shattered when I attempted to cut them from the rafters. Overall, its a decent kit and still recommended, although an improvement of QC on Panda Hobby's part would make this considerably better.
