Thanks for the link, much appreciated. One important thing to note on this real example of a Baja Bronco, the front fenders to not have the fiberglass flares,  only flares are on the rear. That is the way they came from Stroppe. The new Revell model has the fender flares molded on the body on both front and rear, while many 1:1 examples may have added the front fender flares, they were not built that way.

I owned a 70 Bronco with the rear flares, the rear wheel wells were cut larger to allow clearance for articulating axle and tires larger than the street tires Ford put on the factory Broncos. The front did not need extra clearance and the front flares were purely a cosmetic item some owners added for looks.

Fireball models makes excellent parts to make a Baja Bronco from the standard Revell Bronco kit and you'll end up with a more accurate model. The new Revell Baja does include the dual shocks, a nice touch.
