Has anyone built or purchased the Panda Models 1/350th USS Cole? What is your impression of the kit? How's the detail and accuracy? I've been looking at one and thinking about purchasing it later down the road, but I've never dealt with a Panda kit before.

I've got one Panda kit a UH1-d. Haven't built it yet, but will say that it loos quite good. Read the review of the DDG and will now include that among my "to buy" kit list. Model show in 2 days so maybe I can get a good deal there

What scale is it? I noticed they had a B-1 as well.

Steven the Panda UH -1's are 1/35th They are pretty good kits. They had an ambitious release list and forgive the pun it never took off. The models I have seen are good and the price isn't to outragous.

I built the old MRC UH1c that had the miniguns. I was quite pleased to discover the D slick version. Might build it for the Viet Nam campaign.
