I'm new here and this is the first time that I have started a toplc. I am also new to modeling apart from bits and bats when I was a little younger.
I recently built myself a little "mancave" and bought myself 20 or so models, mainly Revell, a couple of Airfix and 3 Bronco.
My question is, doe's anybodoy know Bronco and if so how do you rate them?
Any information will be welcome for this fat fingered, bad eyesighted newbie :thumbsup:
Many thanks in advance,
Dave

I managed to inherit a part started Bronco Comet tank (it's a long story), it looks very good and when I checked out reviews of the kit it gets a more or less unanimous thumbs up.

Built a few Military vehicles of there's.

I can only recommend them :thumbsup: .

They do however go into a lot of detail in the building of there military kits,(same as Dragon), which for me is fine.

So beware of that for a newbe. :D

Best start on something like Tamiya.
Cheaper too. :D

Cheers foxy :coolio:

Bronco make excellent AFV and vehicle kits, along with some artillery. I've built the Comet with no problems, just keep an eye on the plans as there are a couple of variants in there..

Their Centurion kits are good too, Just don't like the road wheel breakdown.

Their late model Tiger I is excellent, apart from the tracks which need replacing.

The M-10 is a bit fiddly and most annoyingly, has no method of locking the turret onto the hull, it drops off at the slightest excuse.

Posted Image

Their M3 Stuart is a little gem too, I just couldn't cope with the individual end connectors for the spare track and grousers.

The 25pdr is a real pain to build, I haven't finished it yet. Every small part than can be separately moulded of made from brass, has been.

If I can finish them, anyone can. And they supply metal gun barrels in their kits too!
