youpey Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 i love the 78/79 ford bronco kit and after research, it seems that the AMT wild hoss is the only one thats made. the revell/monogram version is the 80 version, which has a different front grill and other minor differences This kit doesnt look like it has been rebox at all, so on ebay its silly expensive. Before i spend a ton of money on this kit, how well does it build up? is it a good quality, straight forward kit or is it a nightmare to put together. I am not a fan of AMT kits, and generally think revell kits are much better. However, i know there are some AMT kits that are great Any help is greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Here's a few pics of mine. It's an original I bought and built sometime in the early '80s. It's due for a rebuild and I even have a sheet of replacement decals for it. It's one of those "I'll get around to it someday" jobs. Only change I had made is the Desert Dog tires. It comes with the same ones as in the "Superstones" Ford pickup. This kit is in fact very similar to that one and I think they share some parts.

Plowboy Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The Wild Hoss is usually crazy expensive. You can get the Model King reissue with a trailer and Cougar F/C cheaper. Plus have some trading fodder to offset the cost. Plus, it has a lot nicer wheels and tires with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it has the same wheels Roger. The Ford "wagon wheels" mine has on it and a set of alloy wheels like this, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 1 of the model king version on ebay, and its 20 dollars less than what i bought (and as you said, it has a trailer and another car). i had done so much searching on ebay and google for reissues and couldnt find anything. i should have asked here first. EDIT: well, my birthday is in 1 month, so my wife agreed to get me the model king version for my birthday. this way i can have the nice trailer too. i dont mind having more than one Edited March 15, 2021 by youpey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
