I’m joining in with a kit that was the first one I pulled out of the stash once the results of the 2025 Bunfight were in. In truth it qualifies for the Vietnam, 80s, Post War Twins and Twin Boom GBs, it is the calendar that puts it in this one. Hasegawa’s old 1/72 Bronco. I bought this many years ago, I don’t know why, other than it is an interesting looking aircraft. Here’s what’s in the box: Typical old school Hasegawa, quite basic cockpit and landing gear, but nicely detailed with fine raised panel lines, minimal flash, moulded in very hard plastic. I have a bit of aftermarket to dress it up a bit: Reskit wheels which will require some modification of the gear legs (nose wheel is unfortunately unusable as Hasegawa have moulded the wheel on the nose gear leg and it’s beyond me to scratch a replacement leg), a Master pitot and a mask set for the canopy (it’s designed for the ICM kit, but it’s the same plane isn’t it?) The old decals are past it so I will be using these: I’ll be finishing it as an overall green Moroccan Airforce machine. Other than the wheels and pitot and a bit of extra detail in the cockpit it will be a straightforward OOB build. To get the ball rolling I have made start on filling ejector marks on seats, cockpit floor and undercarriage doors: added some weights to the fuselage and booms: which I hope the rather spindly undercarriage will be strong enough to support. Assembled the props, sponsons, wing and tail booms: Some plastic rod had been used to fill the holes in the wing as I will not be using the rather poor pylons provided. Work will continue with the cockpit Thanks for looking. AW
