malito Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Guys I am a brazilian modeler and new in the car modeling universe. I´d like to build the 1979 Ford Bronco as seen in the 240 Robert TV show. I am using the 1/24 Monogram ´80 Ford Bronco 2 ´n 1 model kit but the tires and wheels are not accurate. Could you please tell me where to get the correct set? Many Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Interesting build, should be nice when you have it done. The real vehicle you have pictured is actually a 1979 model year and there was an AMT kit offered for that vehicle. It can be hard to find and kind of expensive, but it is out there.Revell offered a 1980 version of that vehicle in a kit, but it too is hard to find and expensive. If you are looking for some similar wheels, check out Scenes Unlimited and I am sure you will find tires and wheels. Those Jerry cans on the back should be able to find easily enough.

Kit Basher Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Can you explain what is wrong with the kit tires and wheels? I have that kit and the tires and wheels look pretty close to your picture, except the wheels are chrome and the tires have no lettering.

malito Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 The problem is with the tires. Look at the pictures how they are larger in diameter and width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a guy on @instagram that has replicated it with a Traxxas Trx4 1979 Ford Bronco. A radio-controlled vehicle in 1/10 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSheep214 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I loved that show when I was a kid. Back then, I actually built it using the Bronco kit, painted the R-240 on the roof, added light bars, push bars, etc... The only thing I didn’t add was the gas cans to the back.
