Plastic_Passion Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Just got my bronco. Bought it on ebay. Threw a bid on it for s's and g's. Then I won it lol. Well I've only built the revell kit. I'm extremely impressed by the MPC kit. The fact that the front suspension is 4 parts is just great!!! Makes me want to mold them for some other ideas. Lots of detail tho. Now to dream it up...
Plastic_Passion Posted August 18, 2020 Author Posted August 18, 2020 Been all over the place. I have been wanting to do some of this but have gotten pulled in many directions. I'll be building soon tho.
espo Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Looking at the parts laid out I have a new found interest in the old MPC kits.
Plastic_Passion Posted August 20, 2020 Author Posted August 20, 2020 I realllllly want to mold that front suspension.
Plastic_Passion Posted August 20, 2020 Author Posted August 20, 2020 One thing I've found I'm not overly fond of is theres no bar where the smokers window would be.

mikemodeler Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Check out Fireball Modelworks or Scenes Unlimited and put some modern wheels and tires on that truck, those Desert Dogs are so 1970's!

BNL resins makes some great parts as well. I'll be parts boxing the dogs for a rainy day.

But... the short of it is.... yeah I think so. I printed off an outline and colored it to get a quick idea of a different color scheme.
Plastic_Passion Posted August 26, 2020 Author Posted August 26, 2020 I dont know if I like the blue/tan scheme on the 80's although jacked up like this 96 it maybe a different story. However I really like the blue tan on the 96.
Plastic_Passion Posted August 26, 2020 Author Posted August 26, 2020 The other thing I'm thinking since it's going to be lifted I kinda want to do a S.A.S. front end.
Plastic_Passion Posted August 31, 2020 Author Posted August 31, 2020 Hope I dont regret this. I'm sure I wont. The grill isnt quite right anyhow.
