MPC 1980 Ford Bronco Reissue.
Jordan White replied to martinfan5's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Glad to see this coming out again too, some aspects aren't as good as the 1/24 Ex-Monogram kit, but this one does have the superior TTB setup with separate beams and radius arms! -
Question: Chevy 4x4 IFS
Jordan White replied to edefrange's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
With the GMT800 trucks, they are all 6-lug (other than the 8-lug HD trucks), and the wheels featured in the kit were available on both 2WD and 4WD models. -

Glad to see they’re back! They’ve actually been around for a few years now, but the link vanished a while ago. -
Moebius '72 Ford F-250 w/Plow
Jordan White replied to niteowl7710's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Not sure what the big deal is if the box art is or isn’t 100% accurate to the real vehicle, in terms of painting/detailing. -
Looks like they don't have the '23 brochure yet, but here's the '22 for you! https://xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/2022-Dodge-Charger.pdf

Revell 1971 Boss 351 Mustang
Jordan White replied to Justin Porter's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
They might not have been as popular since as the name states, their only engine option was the 351. I’m sure the Mach 1 numbers are much higher. -
Dupli Color Question
Jordan White replied to Plowboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Oh geeze, I didn’t realize they raised their prices that much too! -
Dupli Color Question
Jordan White replied to Plowboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I do know Duplicolor doesn’t make that exact color in spray form. However with the way their prices are increasing, you would be better with ordering from a site like automotivetouchup.com since they would have the exact color, and you get a large can for only 20 bucks (compared to like 14 for an 8oz Duplicolor) -
I was thinking more of the big box stores (like Hobby Lobby) who prefer to stand their kits up on the box side, and if they were the flatter Euro style boxes, then they would need to increase the height between shelves, thus having less shelf space. That's not to say I agree with them, I would prefer the larger/flatter boxes since it means the parts get packaged better.
-
My thoughts exactly. The only thing I can think of is the stores complaining about the larger box size, I can see no other reason why they are spending more to have different boxings for different regions.

"Weird, we sold more copies to the European market than the American market!" 😄

Interesting build idea! If you didn’t already know, the Grand Wagoneer axles are narrower than the J10 axles. If you wanted to be accurate in that regard, it looks like you could take about an eighth inch off each wheel back stud (difference between front and rear would be negligible at this scale).

Jeep J-10 Honcho grille help!
Jordan White replied to Faust's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I started looking into it because I was looking at the 1980 brochure since they have a nice “cutaway” drawing showing the drivetrain, and I noticed the exhaust wasn’t running next to the transfer case like the kit does. -
Jeep J-10 Honcho grille help!
Jordan White replied to Faust's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Revell kit is actually only a 1979. Reason being in 1980 they switched the front differential from the passenger side to the drivers side, and the kit has it on the passenger side. -
I’ve always thought that the method of sticking the interior tub and chassis plate into the body before sticking in the box is the best way to pack it.

Moebius '72 Ford F-250 w/Plow
Jordan White replied to niteowl7710's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Curious to see how Moebius’ suspension and drivetrain measure up to Fireballs’s excellent conversion! -
There may be a licensing reason for still calling the Charger a '21 vs a newer year. The Bronco though is representing the First Edition, which was only sold in 2021 (it had a combination of options and parts from the various regular trim levels). They may be able to have them be newer years for their next releases.
-
Looks like it based on their test shots.

Technically up to 2000 for a couple models, but correct.

History of Monogram's Ford Pickups 1980-1991
Jordan White replied to Fabrux's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
It appears to be the ex Monogram kit based on the wheels/tires, the brush guard, and the wheel flares. However I would also like to see the wheels return from the Yamaha Formula One release of the original Revell kit, as well as the AMT version of the Bronco, since as established the Monogram version has the incorrect engine compartment. -

Yeah I’m pretty sure it came out last, it was also rereleased a few times in the late 90s.
