Panda M-ATV

The Blast resin radios on the Voyager PE radio racks. 

I've been adding the power, audio and antenna cables to the radios. It brings back memories of change of command inventories from years gone by. 

The weapon station is PE. It helps to drill holes and glue plastic pins at the bolt locations to hold the parts in the correct place while the glue sets. 

I put in 3 of 4 sides for the ballistic glass. I'll add the last side after the paining is completed. 

The framework on the back of the vehicle is from the voyager PE set. The PE set includes the bolt heads in various sizes that need to be glued on. 

I had to take a break from this build for a couple months. The combination of PE and CA glue was too much. 

Panda does not include the VIC-3 system so I'll have to make that on my own. Change of plans. I found a 3D printed set from Shapeways for the Vic-3 and handsets. 

Voyager provided the resin mirrors but you have to make the mount. I used Albion Alloys NST05 tubing. 

Voyager PE and brass barrel helped out the .50cal. 

The directions were incorrect for the seatbelts. I cut off the buckle and used masking tape for the belts. I need to do some weathering on the seats before they go in the vehicle. 

I'll dirty up the inside before I put the windows in.
