1/25 AMT 1978 Ford Bronco "Wild Hoss"

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.

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

Thanks!

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

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.
