I built a 1/35 Panda Hobby M1 Abrams. The model itself was ok, the tracks though were a fucking nightmare, not only that but they weren't even accurate, I gave up 10 links in because the ridiculous amount of work that goes into them isn't even worth it when they're very blatantly not accurate to the very first variant Abrams. I ended up throwing the aftermarket tracks Trumpeter makes for their first variant Abrams on them and they're great if not labor intensive (but not nightmare tier). I also had to buy the photo etch set for this because when I dumped the tracks I had naively and wrongly assumed the track sprues only contained track parts. Luckily the PE set they make for this had all the missile parts.
I would really only recommend this kit if you are autistic like me and only want the Cold War era Abrams and not the gorillion Gulf War ones since is the only model of it that exists, also Panda Hobby went out of business on top of that.
