SPA Modeler

I've always been a huge fan of the Bronco. Back when I was studying for my amateur radio license a friend of my fathers would pick us up in his Bronco to go to tech classes way back when I was 12 or 13. So when I saw this kit I jumped on it. This is clearly a newer mold as the assembly and fit is really fantastic. Also, the mold detail is amazing - resin like details in some cases. Anyhow - got started and thought I'd share.

Body parts painted right out of the Tamiya rattle can

Here's a shot of the detail I was referring to. Never seen this in Revell plastic. The vents are so fine.

Got the engine and some of the chasis together

Great work on a classic vee-hickle

Back from when the Bronco was actually a utility vehicle and not gentrified into a SUV...

Nice subject choice!

Nice work. Looking forward to it. I just wish Revell had gone just a step further and offered it bone stock.

I haven’t picked this kit up yet and am surprised that I still don’t have it given my love for this truck. Will be watching this one.

It's a really nice kit - I recommend it for sure, at least in terms of assembly. Got a rolling chassis - on to interior/body. (fixed the front tire orientation after looking at the pic )

Progress - nothing glued yet and lots of detail work to do in the engine bay but she's coming along

Very nice!

Really nice!! I've seen this kit at Hobby Lobby.

So she's glued together - had a hard time getting the front locating pins and the radiator and shroud in but eventually sealed her up. Got the grill on and need to do a bunch of touch up in the engine bay as I had a few colors bleed - hate red on black, hate yellow on black. I'll clean it up but here's tonight's work:
