Did I read you said (somewhere) that you had a Rye Field Tiger tank with all the interior details? This is one I intend to build soon, it's Michael Wittmann's Tiger I

I've got a couple of Panda kits but have never looked inside. Now, after hearing about yours, will need to look.
***I took a look inside one of my Panda kits and it looks great. Huge part count for this one.

Beautiful Mossie, OC.
You deserve some kind of medal for perseverance. You really hung in there thru thick and thin.

CDW got a reaction from Moab in Military Wrecker - Revell - 1:32 Scale - PLASTIC
One day this past week, a box arrived on my doorstep that I wasn't expecting. When I looked at the shipping label, I saw a familiar name on the sender's line and realized a good friend had surprised me with something. I opened the package and found I had received this vintage 1:32 Revell Military Wrecker kit. Right up my alley! I love military wreckers, and wreckers in general. This one is much larger than the previous military wrecker I recently finished on this forum. Part of that is because it's in a larger scale, 1:32 vs: 1:35 scale, but mainly because this wrecker was larger than the Scammell.
Anyway, getting down to business, I have begun assembly of the major sub assemblies and will soon begin painting them before assembling and painting/detailing the model. These vintage Revell kits were simple to build, so this one will go fairly quick. Stay tuned...

Difficulty has nothing to do with it. It's just a matter of how I want to spend my time and what I want to spend it doing.

My apology to Ken, my old brain just wasn't firing on all cylinders today. He was talking about Panda, and I went and posted a photo of a Bronco model. Sheesh
Anyway, here is a Panda kit I intended to show Ken.
I think what you will find is that some of these companies such as Panda can come in various varieties quality. Researching build reviews can be your best friend to know ahead of time what you will get/not get. This Panda kit shown here is of a very high quality, so this is a good example of how the quality can vary. I'm guessing that Panda buys other factory products and packages them in their own box/label. This kit looks a lot like the contents found in a Rye Field or Bronco kit. Very good quality.

This is the Rye Field Models, Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) in 1:35 scale
The following description of the vehicle is borrowed from Wikipedia:
"The Oshkosh M-ATV is a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle developed by the Oshkosh Corporation for the MRAP All Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) program. Intended to replace M1114 HMMWVs, it is designed to provide the same levels of protection as the larger and heavier previous MRAPs but with improved mobility."
Rye Field is a relative newcomer (to me) to the plastic modeling scene. The examples of their models I own are highly detailed and very well presented. The instructions are more like a high quality magazine, with 30 pages of well written instructions, full color diagrams, and reference photos.
Following is an excellent link with photographs of the real vehicle:

I shall begin this build within the next day or so.
