A new name for large models in 1/32, 1/35 and 1/48 scale.  Many of the products look to be Panda Hobby and Kitty Hawk kits, reading about this may be a rebrand to bring several different lines under the same label.

That being said, a few new kits have been announced, a 1/35 ZSU-23-4 M2/M4 Shilka and a 1/35 USN Quad 40mm Bofors (hoping they or Takom do an 8 barrel Pom Pom at some time). There's more new items that may have been announced under Kitty Hawk, including a 1/48 F6U Pirate, F7U Cutlass and SEPECAT Jaguar in French and British single and two seat variants .

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Some of the aircraft are definitely ex-Kitty Hawk right down to the box art.

Same goes for some of the AFV's being Panda right down to the artwork.


I actually have these kits in Kitty Hawk boxings with this artwork in the stash:

But they don't have all of either company's product range advertised - nor should they, even if they have them, they have to enter the market, yet.
