Just rolled (not literally LOL) this one off the bench. It's the Model King repop built basically box stock. I went with the deluxe two-tone paint scheme and added the necessary chrome trim for it. For colors, I was inspired by one in an old ad Ford ran when the full size Bronco came out in 1978. Colors are Duplicolor Bright Red & Super White, while the interior was treated to Rustoleum Regal Red. I noticed after taking the pics I should add some black wash to the vents on the cowl. Other than a few finicky assembly steps, and vague instructions, it was a fun and enjoyable build and looks good when finished.

Love the other pics you posted too. That thing is clean. How old is the model king issue? I cant seem to find one anywhere on the internet

I believe 2006. They released it as a Nostalgic Drag Racing set, with a trailer and Cougar funny car (Kenz & Leslie kit, minus the decals). I found that set at a car show last year for $45. The other two I bought from Model Round-up around 5-6 years ago. At the time they were breaking up some of the racing sets and selling the Broncos individually. Other than that, I really haven't seen any around either.
