Hi
I was looking at buying a Panda 1/350 USS Arleigh Burke and I was just wondering if Panda kits are up to Trumpeter or Revell standard. How is the fit of this kit and the part count?
Thanks for all replies.
Nobody?
Sometimes you have to give it more than a day - many people have jobs that keep them off this site 24/7 
That said, the Panda molds were acquired by Dragon - early ships are better (later Burke ships have a dimensional problem with the hangar and helo pad) and are up to the same standards, albeit there are features of each some like better than others.
I can’t say I’ve built anything by Panda, but I did build the Dragon 1/350 USS Bunker Hill (Cruiser) if that helps. The kit was ok, had some fit issues. My building skills were ok, created some issues. All in all I remember the kit being pretty inexpensive and you can tell it’s a cruiser. The only issue I ran into was fitting the forward superstructure to the deck, and there’s an even chance that was me, and nothing a little sanding or shimming couldn’t have taken care of.
If you are interested in PE, Gold Medal Models makes a generic modern USN warship set that has goodies for Arleigh Burkes.
