mrmike Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Since one of my current projects, the AMT '69 Plymouth GTX is almost done, it is time to start on a new one. This time it is the AMT '21 Ford Bronco First Edition. My plan is to paint the body with Tamiya TS-92 Metallic Orange with a black roof and a black interior. I am a little upset with the fact that this is only a 2 door and not a 4 door since most of the new Broncos around here are 4 doors and not 2 doors SUVs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 That should be a great color combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 Thanks David! I saw someone else's Torino in this color and it does look similar to the color I want and I happen to like orange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Fun build, nearly falls together ! Watch the fit of the back cap, mine was warped, needed careful gluing to get it aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 That's going to be a nice build Mike. I have this one in my stash with a set of wheels & tires from a 1/32 Monster truck I'm going to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 Thanks Bob! I have a plastic spoon that I sprayed silver and metallic orange on one side and just metallic orange on the other. I think I will use just the metallic orange since it is brighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 The paint color Area 51 is a tri-coat blue-gray color. Should look sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 I painted a spoon to see what the color would look like with another color under it and I chose Tamiya TS-92 Metallic Orange and Tamiya TS-30 Silver Leaf on one side and just Tamiya TS-92 Metallic Orange on the other. One side was darker overall and the other is lighter and brighter. This is the color I will go with. I started assembling various components, but not painting them yet.

espo Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Great looking color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 That's looking pretty good so far Michael. I've been playing around with this kit on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Thanks Bob! This kit seems to be a very nice kit for a curbside. I have my colors picked out-metallic orange for the body, semi-gloss black for the interior and the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Good color choice ! They really did a good job molding the Bronco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 Thanks Jeff! There is a little flash that seems to take a while to remove, but the 2021 Bronco does seem to be nicely molded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 (edited) I did a little painting this morning. I did the chassis and part of the interior. I changed my mind on the color of the interior. I'm going with grey for my interior. Edited June 2 by mrmike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I did not know this kit was a curbside. I haven’t seen one to look at yet. Not a deal breaker". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmike Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Yes, the kit is a curbside, but the hood is separate and an engine could be fitted if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
