Fat Brian Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Revell has some goodies for us truck guys coming this winter, they are reissuing their K100 flat top with two drive axles and have also announced a new tooling of a first gen Bronco. The pic is in the thread on the car news page, I just wanted to post the truck news here.
Jim B Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Interesting. I've never built the Revell K100. I might have to get one if the price is right.
Luc Janssens Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I'm betting Chief Joseph is going to create Some fat off-road footwear, body lift and accesoiries for this baby.For the Bronco that is....anyone here have some more ideas of what van be done with that kit?
Rob Hall Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) It will be interesting to see if the Bronco is a 2n1 w/ an optional version, or what the 2nd release is. I hope the roof is molded separately so it can be done open style. A 1/2 roof would be nice to see down the road, and maybe an off road Baja racer version... Edited July 9, 2016 by Rob Hall

A pickup version roof would be nice to see down the road, and maybe an off road Baja racer version...I'm with you Rob, but maybe the aftermarket will come out with the Baja body before Revell does. I see a bunch of these in my future with all kinds of different versions!

1930fordpickup Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 I think back to the 81 or 82 Super Ford Nationals in Detroit . Early Bronco with a boss 429 siting very low with prostreet tires under this little guy. Just a start of the dreams.
vincen47 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Looking forward to the K100. I'll just need to get a aerodyne roof, I think P&P has one.Happy to see a new kit with the first gen Bronco too.
Petetrucker07 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Is P&P even still in business? I last heard from them about 4 months ago. There ain't no tellin now.
Mr mopar Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Kenworth k-100 nice to see back and now guy's will start cry about not having an aerodyne roof.go figure!
Fat Brian Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 The P&P Aerodyne roof is for an 86" cab and the Revell kit is a 108" cab, the Papa truck should be a good donor though.
jeffs396 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 For the Bronco that is.... anyone here have some more ideas of what van be done with that kit?
Fat Brian Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) That's an early one, I can't tell what year the kit is since the only body modification was the turn signals in 68. After a bit of research I think a 71+ would be ideal since that is the year they went to a Dana 44 front axle. Edited July 10, 2016 by Fat Brian

oldcarfan Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 There are so many possibilities with this Bronco. I am looking forward to this. It's like a Jeep but better! I want to do one showroom stock and then maybe another as a beach beater. The Icon Bronco from a few years ago would be a chance to use some modern bits in it as well.
Jordan White Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I'm hoping they offer the fender flares in the kit!
Rob Hall Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Darin Bastedo just shared this pic from Robert Glucksman: Wonder what those holes on the rear quarter below the trim are...
Rob Hall Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Saw this neat Bronco half cab in Williams, AZ yesterday...
mikemodeler Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Wonder what those holes on the rear quarter below the trim are...Those are the gas tanks, minus the gas caps. The Bronco had an option for dual tanks.
Leonidas Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 The K100 should be great since the AMT Kenworth COE is out of production. Hopefully they won't price the thing up into the stratosphere...which Revell tend to do with their non snap truck kits.
Fat Brian Posted July 12, 2016 Author Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Wonder what those holes on the rear quarter below the trim are...Those are for gas caps, the kit must have dual tanks. Oops, Mike beat me to it. Edited July 12, 2016 by Fat Brian

Hopefully they won't price the thing up into the stratosphere...which Revell tend to do with their non snap truck kits.I imagine it will be somewhere north of $50, still better than the $125 I paid for the Aerodyne on ebay. Round2 is bringing their Aerodyne back out as the Papa truck this winter too. Edited July 12, 2016 by Fat Brian
Leonidas Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I think you're right. Might stick it on the 'ol Xmas list. You never know, maybe the wife might get it for me. Otherwise I'll have to stick with the cheaper AMT trucks I think. lol
