The F-350 has a gas exhaust system and decals instead of the correct Powerstroke stuff. The H1 is a mish-mash of years and options as rear "barn doors" weren't available on the year Hummer it is, and it's so beholden to the specific prototype they had information from it actually has the dealership logo from Louisville, KY molded into the plastic...not to mention the number of lights on the H1 that are molded in plastic military style instead of having separate lenses as you'd expect in an automotive kit. The Jeep is a weirdly specific 10th Anniversary 2 door with a specific leather interior. Most of course are 4 doors with a normal cloth interior. The GT 40 feels like a by-product of the large scale kit, and the new BMW Z4 (which was released in HK last week) is another oddball answer to a question I don't know anyone was asking. They have the Bimmer license from all the 1/9 bikes kits, but I think other "M" spec cars (M3, M4, M5, even the older GT3 base M6, or GTE based M8 in civilian clothes) would be more broadly interesting topics other than having something that most people relate to as being what ruins the 5th Gen Supra. Yeah I do agree that they were odd in their own ways, though I am glad they made them anyways since no one else makes these specific vehicles (in glue form).

iamsuperdan Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 On a related note, I'll be taking some detail pics of Broncos here at the dealership. I have a Bronco 2-door here now. First one we've had with the manual transmission. If anyone wants any specific pics, let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan White Posted June 20, 2022 Author Share Posted June 20, 2022 So according to a video in the "The Rumour Mill" thread, they have 3 versions of this kit planned so far. Now I'm not sure if they count a 4-door model as a version of this kit (since there would need to be changes to the body and chassis, amongst other things), but if this is one, then I would say the other 2 are a 4-door version (maybe the Sasquatch trim) and then a Bronco Raptor after that.

There're three variations of the 2-door model planed starting with the 2021 "First Edition" version. We have the design data for the 4-door model for possible future use. -Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't tell me, just use two thumbs up for yes and two thumbs down for no. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not the worst colour I've seen on one of these. And at least it was done to something with the Sasquatch package. One of our clients picked up theirs, used to be Area 51, which is a nice non-metallic grey-blue. Now it's been wrapped in a metallic purple. And it has the small tire package. And now a Punisher decal on the back. It's bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 The multi-kit possibilities enabled by the many distinct flavors of 1/1 scale new Broncos was one of the key points I made in several private notes to our Round 2 connections about the business potential of a tool based on the new Bronco. Glad to see this now actually playing out in reality. TIM 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Right now, my focus is on getting the design work completed so we can get the "First Edition" kit version out soon as possible. Ford is rapidly adding to the New Bronco line-up so what comes next and what additional parts we include could easily change after its initial release. My gut tells me that there will be a lot of aftermarket support for this kit once it comes out hopefully by early 2023. I can assure you that all your suggestions and comments are being noted by myself and others. I wish I could get into more detail at this time, but I can't. I do greatly appreciate everyone's support. -Steve 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotnitro? Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I would love a Badlands Squatch packaged Bronco, few of them are showing up around here finally yeah leave out the 2.7 and cram a 5.0 under the hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stavanzer Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I look forward to seeing these coming out. I notice that there is very little news about these kits, coming out. I hope all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
