Plowboy Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I built the Monogram Bronco many years ago. No photos currently. It would be the kit you would need to do the '90 as they're both 1/24 scale. I would use the single wheel instead of the dually to do the quarters with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Plastic_Passion Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Looks like I lied. The body line on the '90 is thinner than the '80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic_Passion Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Wheel arches are different too. Is that what you meant by the quarters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevythunder85 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yes! the rear quarters on the bed include the wheel arches. Also the tail lights are slightly different on the 87 and up trucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the same. The doors and cabs are the same from '80 to '96. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the tail lights are slightly different on the 87 and up trucks! 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revell '80s Bronco is 1/25 scale and wouldn't work with the Monogram 250 or 350. You would have to use a Monogram Bronco which is 1/24 scale. Even with both being the same scale, the body lines may not line up exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought revell's version was the monogram kit since revell bought them back when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Revell's Bronco has a sun roof and was issued with a boat and trailer once. Revell did reissue the Monogram Bronco some years ago. But, kept the Monogram label.
