What's happened to Panda?

Gone the way of the Dodo? Hope not, I was lookin forward to a 35th scale Guns-a-go-go.

:(

Keepin my fingers crossed

Hello Old Hooker!

I sure hope that ( in this case ) that it was something you ate!

If I don't get a 1/35 scale HOOK soon I'm gonna FREAK OUT!

Watch that tree line!

Panda's site is back up :]

...and kits are available. Just purchased their 1/144 B-1b. The plastic is well molded, the engraving is very fine. Can't say much as yet about accuracy. Decals are water-slide stuff, a bit on the thick side mabe and definitely glossy, à la Monogram. Price was a killer! Barely $10... I think I'm gonna get some more of their stuff.

Glad to see it back open and glad to hear a quality report... I was kinda hoping they were adding the Chinook's to their "New Items" list.... maybe one day.

Thanks for the replies!

Anyone got the skinny on the Chinook situation?

Hope they haven't cancelled them!

Hey All !!

Panda's CH-47 and EH-101are still set for 4th quarter 2003 release...so I am told by a saleperson for a model distribution company...in NJ.

Let's hope she's right !!!!

Thats what I have heard as well....

So lets keep'em burnning and the rotors turning!

Sorry - been lagging with my posts...

I stopped by my "local neighborhood hobbyshop" and asked the guy there if he had any info about Panda releasing the 1/35 Chinook - even asked for a brochure. He said (and i quote), "Oh yeah, they're on backorder". HA!!!

Yeah right buddy! He doesn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground. I can't believe he had the nerve to tell me that......hell he was the "R/C guy".....what does he know?

I tell ya' - HobbyTown USA sure does have some top-notch employees. Needless to say, i was turned off by the whole damn thing and refuse to go back.

Anywho - still waiting on the release.....and no, the fine folks at Panda have yet to return my email - typical.

I say....keep the ramp down! I like the sound of a well maintained 50 cal........and I think I see a Lawyer....TARGET PRACTICE!

Ramp only goes up for ground taxi-ing.

It goes level in flight.....it has to if you want to "Ramp Surf"

"Ramp up, ready in the rear"

Was referring to the ACH-47, who's ramp went up after the FE jumped on board, and remained up throughout the mission.
