Bronco M24 Postwar :lots of pix.

Be ye warned. I am no expert on the M24. :gogo

This is the Bronco postwar M24 Chafee with markings for five Asian countries.

The turret roof weld line and angle has been corrected.

This shows the tow cable. It does not tell you how long the cable is,so I am guessing the nylon cable is already cut to length.

This shows that the casting marks are PE,and need to be added to the left and right on the upper part of the lower front hull.

You have a choice of PE or plastic head light guards. A jig for the PE parts has been thoughtfully provided.

The .50 MG has the cooling jacket holes that are drilled out. A nice touch.

However,the cooling holes on the .30 are not drilled out. Sorry for the bad pic.

These are the tracks. 7X

Gotta be real careful to keep them workable.

The last two pix show how the tie down clips are molded on. Not sure if I will replace them with PE.

Nice, like that they have the jigs included for the PE stuff.

That Pakistani decal sheet is just the ticket! I am waiting for the Korean War release.

Looks like a nice kit. I made myself a jig for those Bronco tracks and once you get the hang of it it is not difficult to get them workable.I found the best glue for those tracks is Model Masters liquid Cement in the black plastic bottle with the needle tip.

You are most welcome Saul. I will probably go with the JGSDF markings. Maybe get a 1/35 Godzilla to go with it. :woohoo:

Thanks Joe. That glue is some good stuff.

I have to check, I might have some pics of the jig I made and how I assembled the tracks.
