80's bronco's
Plastic_Passion replied to Plastic_Passion's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I could've sworn that the body line was slightly different at the crease in the door. Guess not tho. The arches of coarse as mentioned. -

Interesting! I thought revell's version was the monogram kit since revell bought them back when. -

I knew the tails are different. 87 and up are smooth vs the Blocked lights of pre 87. Funny thing is I've had both of these kits. But I was probably 11 when I had the dually and probably 15 when I had the bronco. Both are long gone. -

Well... you see... she like to have my company. Which after being together for 10 years, if she wants me to hangout with her still I must be doing something pretty okay. So I dont complain. So in order to build and share a space, I built on a sheet of foam board. Which actually worked out great for 2 years. Then it happened. ?♂️ oops. That super sucks that someone would maliciously do that. Seems uncalled for. I dig the little motorbikes! Almost reminds me of my 1:1 ninja. -

Wheel arches are different too. Is that what you meant by the quarters? -

Looks like I lied. The body line on the '90 is thinner than the '80 -

I figured the revell bronco and the f250 would be pretty compatible. I know that amt wouldn't work as I've built the f150 shortbox but converted it to 4wd using the revell bronco front axle with some tweaking.the amt and the revell models have slightly different body line not only because of scale but because the amt kits are post '91 era and the lines are slightly different. -

We've all seen beautiful works of art. We've followed builds. We've seen enginuity<-sp? ?♂️ anyways we've seen some incredible builds. Both along the way and finished in all their glory. But.... what about those builds that you had such great plans for? And then something tragic happens. And your kit takes a very drastic turn.... let's see some "you're not alone" accidents. I'll start with this 300zx I planned on some p.e. parts on. It was my 2nd non revell/amt kit. And my wife stepped on it on accident. She felt so bad she cried. Which made me feel bad that she felt so bad lol. These things happen! I told her it was my fault not hers.

Really torn between red, blue, or green/tan/gold. Not going to lie I kinda want to get a bronco and the dually f150 and kitbash them like this '90 -
I posted this in the questions section but didnt get anything on it so.... show and tell time!!!!! So... if ya got an '80's bronco.... revell... mpc.... post em up. I want to see how different or the same they are! I'll have mine eventually. It hasn't shipped yet. But I bought an mpc. I did the revell 25 years ago. No longer have it unfortunately.

I built the '80 bronco about 20 years ago. It was the revell version. I loved it. But there were things I hated about it. Like the issues it shares with its sister model the F100 ranger. The firewall that isnt anywhere near complete. The suspension as a whole. The body was great. The top fit like a glove. The truck looked good sitting there.... Well.... fast forward. I dont have the bronco anymore unfortunately. But I did build the F100.... and..... I just purchased the MPC 80's bronco. Can anybody give me some insight to the difference between revels version and the mpc kit? It's not shipped to me yet so I cant compare.

Even has valve stems in the rims!

Your attention to detail is amazing! I love what you've done with the brake booster. Not just the lines but the whole booster itself! Great work all around! Are the valve covers resin?
