MARCH 2017 BOX STOCK BRONCO
By: Wayne (Reno, NV)
WOW! This kit is amazing! if i didn't see the box I would've thought REVELL GERMANY. speaking of the box has anyone else noticed the box art directional tires on the front axle going different directions? LOL. a ton of detail on this kit, every part fits as it should. make sure to test fit front suspension parts as the instructions are a little foggy in that area. the axles have separate covers which makes painting them a different color easy. I didn't use the the seat/door card decals since they had their own detail= just painted them. Decals went on with ease even the long white side stripes stayed in one piece and stuck well! had to use a bit of clearcoat to get the hubcap red rings to stick. the swing away spare tire carrier is a nice touch. the possibilities are endless! would like to see/make a 2WD hot rod version. Highly Recommended!
Great kit and great subject
By: benhinkle711
The 1st Gen Bronco was long overdue for a kit, so thank you to Revell for releasing this one.
-The fit of parts was spot on with little to no flash to deal with and molding lines are also minimal. The panel lines are deep and required no extra scribing. The included decals are also great quality, a bit minimal but that's expected since the only build option is stock. I also appreciate the gauge decals and body emblems. The only issue I had with the kit was the removable top. The one in my kit had pretty bad warp and I had to dip it in boiling water and straighten by hand. With full retail being over $25 and this being a newly molded kit this isn't acceptable in my opinion and prevented me from giving it 5 stars. Overall I highly recommend the kit and I love the subject matter.
About this kit
I got this kit as a gift from my father. The idea being that I would build it up to look nice. Well, I have about finished this build (final assemblies going on). I did this build as a live on TicToc and will do a final reveal of it on my YouTube channel. As I pointed out during one of my live streams, this kit is not for beginners. They should have a few builds under their belt first. That being said, this has been an extremely enjoyable build. I had no issues with it at all and everything fit just right. I intend to buy another one or two at some point because this kit is perfect for those who wish to go beyond box-stock.
Excellent kit.

There aren't any negatives about this kit. The parts were all formed perfectly. The instructions are perfectly clear. The detail is a step above most kits from Revell. Especially the detail in the front suspension and steering.
Despite this I opted to modify mine. I swapped in axles, front and rear leaf springs, and Super Swampers from B-N-L resins. I also swapped in the complete intake and shorty headers I had left over from the Revell '32 Ford 2'n1 kit. I would have preferred to have some sort of coilover arrangement on the front but I could not cobble together anything that would have worked.

Great modern tooled kit that builds up nicely
By: dcdcdcx3
This is a well designed modern tooled kit that is fun to build. Comes with a removable top and swing away spare tire carrier that can be mounted or omitted. I built mine without the hubcaps since I wanted the rugged steel wheel look. Parts fit perfectly without any trouble. I did have to mount the rear body slightly higher on the frame so the rear tires would not rub against the rear fenders and roll smoothly. Wheels are attached to the axles with individual metal pins.
Great kit for all ages.
I loved doing this kit. Its great for beginners because they will have no problem with any of the pieces fitting or any of the directions. They are in perfect order except for maybe putting the side decals on before you reach the final product. Its great for experienced modelers to because of the piece count. 137 to be exact . A few customizable options on the interior. But most of all you can try any color combinations imaginable . 5 out of 5 . Great value kit.
Typical Revell excellence
Wonderful kit. Pretty much puts itself together. Only two issues with the kit that I got. The rear driver's side window frame had a big divit/notch out. It would have been a chore to fix, but I blanked out the window with card. The other issue is the engine bay; very boring. Otherwise, the scale and model are just neat and the fit is perfect. Nice model.
Excellent kit!
Revell continues to put out the best quality kits in my opinion. Parts fit was excellent and I ran in to no flash at all. On my build I glued my front side windows to the roof to help with lining up the windshield when gluing it in place. Only do this if your displaying your model with the top on as the 1:1 had the windows attached to the body.
Nice kit right out of the box
I was impressed with the quality of the kit, virtually no flash or sink marks on the parts, everything fit nice. Only issue I had was the decals seemed fragile, the side decals fell apart on me. I added some adhesive felt carpet, and other than that its stock out of the box, very fun to build.
Excellent kit
Very nicely made kit. Hardly any flash at all, and the parts fit together pretty well. Fairly well detailed,but some additional detail under the hood really makes a big difference. Lots of possibilities if you have a good spare parts box. Pre-fitting suspension parts is highly recommended.

Nice little kit. Assembly was easy and directions were clear. Chassis and suspension have lots of great details. Glass installs from the outside making it a little easier. Few tiny parts but still a good first glue kit. Have fun!
Terrific kit
Since this is a new issue kit,the parts are in excellent condition.Build this one stock or let yr imagination run wild and beef it up to make it beasty off road.I will buy a few more for sure

This kit to me is the best i ever made, this kit was just awsome to build the parts just fit wright the instructions guide is simple no second thought to where the parts go.
trouble free build
I built it straight out of the box, little to no flash or twisting. Went together with no problems good detail. going to get another one and turn it in to a low rider.
Brown Bronco
By: kenc08
I really enjoyed building the Bronco. I went with brown and white but wish I would have painted it blue and white like the box.
Stock Bronco kit
I have two of the Baja kits and I just bought this one. They look like fun kits to build. I plan to build 3 different versions.
