[MrMiles]

i am looking forward to one that is not super warped and needs instant glue and pressure to be in place right

[Jordan White]

I’m looking forward to see what Olson Brothers will make for this kit!

I'm thinking that many of their existing parts will fit with minimal work.

I was thinking about trying that winch bumper. Anybody ever do that one?

Any news on when this may arrive here. 4th Quarter maybe?

I'm not even betting on August.

I was watching the weekly live show on Wes's Model Corner on FB last night and I asked about the Bronco. He said he hopes to see it within the next 3-4 weeks but that Round2 has had problems getting kits to the US on time. I'd like to think they (Round2) know how much people are waiting for this kit to arrive but I am sure they have lots of stuff to ship from China so getting it all in a container is challenging.

AMT1304 Wild Hoss '78 Ford Bronco should be on the water by next week.   So, you're looking at Mid-August most likely before they're available.

Steve G. Any idea is Round2 Added anything to this kit? Any Extra Parts or decals beyond what was in the original Kit?

Thanks!

[Mike C.]

I hope they made a lot of these.

I have the Model King re-issue and an original issue in the stash, will be interested to see what is "new"  in this latest release.

Olson Brothers Resin, they make several items for the Revell 1st gen Bronco, as well as a few vintage style bumpers for some other 70s kits.

Decal sheet has been expanded to include some Ford Free Wheelin' graphics, beyond that I'm not aware of any changes

I only have one of their Warn winch bumper kits for GM and that thing is exceptionally well done.

Sweet! Those are some classic decals and it would be cheaper than getting aftermarket ones. Rays decals are very nice, but unfortunately due to the nature of his location, they are expensive.

Fun fact: these graphics were reflective like on emergency vehicles!

Was a manual trans available? If so, do any other 1/25 scale kits include it?

Hoping Round2 goes the extra mile and provides some Free Wheeling decals, too:

 

Also acceptable, and maybe even preferable:

Well, Casey, You got your wish!

It's funny how for the longest time companies were providing either less decals or worse aftermarket style decals for their re-releases. Now it seems like they have learned that the simple cost of just printing more decals along with more factory decal options goes a long way towards making a kit even more appealing.

[Mike C.]

Great news! This could potentially save me $30 some plus shipping on the Rays kits sheet but his does include a lot of nice extras.

Still a good product for those of us who happen to have a prior release of this kit.

FANTASTIC decal sheet!  But it is missing the air-intake decals for the 351-2v (that could be created using the 400-(2v) decal.)

Also missing the 300-1v decals.

Very minor requests, I know.
