I think I am to late for Rons Recon group build so this will be a stand alone build.

This is the Bronco offering with the addition of 4 crew figures. The kit contains 7 tan sprues, the upper and lower hull, 4 tyres, I green sprue with weapons and equipment, 2 grey sprues with the figures, 1 small etch, 1 sheet of decals giving the option of 4 vehicles and a small bag with the clear items.

First impressions of the plastic show it to be quite well detailed but really nasty ejector pin marks there are 8 deep circles in the inside of the lower hull alone which will be a pain to fill. The other option is to button it up so the inside cannot be seen but I want the hatches open so I will have to put it right.

The Eduard external etch set was also purchased cos you know me I like my bling lol.

Some pictures of the sprues will follow later.

I look forward to your company along the way.

Hi Scottie
There's a lot to this kit. For a small vehicle that's a lot of bits - some do look rather itty-bitty small :tongue-out3: :tongue-out3: Quite a newish kit so should be good. Must be quite well thought of as loads of am stuff available - stowage, wheels, interior, exterior.
Looking forward to this and I'm certain you'll do a cracking job.
Jim

Scottie,
More bits there than I got for Xmas.... Just put some filler in those pot holes, I use Mr Surfacer 500 and thin it down with either cellulose or their own thinner - outside helps as it stops you falling of the chair...
Will keep an eye on you.
Mike.
