Thanks Shawn and Vincent :)

You cant accuse Bronco of skimping on detail ;)

Today's progress - Rear - towing assembly - seat brackets and side walls

Fitting the front Glacis was a little problematic and it doesn't sit quite perfectly - tant pis.

That is some great progress Rob. You have been really bust lately with all you have going on.

This looks like a great detailed kit.

That's almost insane detail for such a small kit... I really need to get into my head how small the vehicle is, every time anew - great work Rob! :mrgreen:

That is a very functional looking vehicle! but no lack of detail!

Lovely work as usual sir :D and a very good call leaving the engine open to show off all that hard work

BTW did you find the decals?

Vlad :?: Decals :?: :?: Maybe the Chieftain :?

There is an admirable amount of stowage included :P The theme being "making boxes" :lol:

And there is some scary etch :shock:

Image

The shell box holders - which don't actually fit incredibly well.

So here's the build 95% complete - there are some plastic tarp tie down hooks to add to the hull sides and the Tarp rails themselves. It will have a tarp roof with the sides up. The kit gives you the option of full tarp - tarp roof and obviously no tarp. A definite plus when set against the Riich carrier.

It's a very detailed model...

The Boats haven't taken me away completely ;)

That's wonderful Rob. I love all that delicate etch work and it provides a sense of scale. Can't wait for the paint. :)
