Good evening, kind gentlemen.
First of all allow me to thank all of you for the very encouraging reactions I got on my last post.
Thank you, it's much appreciated and helps me stay motivated.
I don't know whether it is the start of the new year but today finds me in a very generous state. I would like to start this post
by writing something nice about the Bronco kit.
"Something nice about the Bronco kit." That's settled then.
And back to hard reality.
The pictures say so much more than thousand words; you kind gentlemen may judge yourself as to the accuracy and quality
that Bronco provides in this kit.
Interior is still not finished, lots of time wasted with checking the references.
Replaced the radio rack
Engine compartment bulkhead finished
Replacements and add-ons to front suspension
Reworked the front suspension to get the wheels turned.
Leaf spring scratchbuild to save time in trying to get the kit part accurate
Began work on the rear suspension
Upper hull: weld seams around vision parts and metal texture added
Roof by Eduard.
What's worse:
test fitting the upper and lower hull revealed some serious issues, but I hope to overcome them. Otherwise my
works till now has been wasted time. Please give me a break, Bronco !
I will really be relieved to get this thing in the painting stage, fingers crossed.
Hope you likes ( because I don't )

Thank you all, good-natured gentlemen !

That's true MP. It's the love for the subject not Bronco's interpretation that keeps me going.
And I assure you that if it wasn't for this forum the lid would be back on the box! You guys keep me motivated and I thank
all your for that. But it is challenging not to loose interest, I must admit.
And I promise I'll stop complaining (for now).

From our point of view, bronco have made the perfect kit because we get to see it built properly ! Thats something probably 1 in 100 people would bother to do. I think secretly you are really enjoying this its just such a secret no one told you :laugh: Keep it up, you are inspiring others and thats the game.
