Ian Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Mornin' folksJust a thought, well a question to be honest: You may remember that I bought m'self the Kittyhawk Bronco a couple of months back, last week, I started idly cutting a few of the larger parts off the sprue just to check the fit etc, and - I'm being absolutely honest here - without trying to, or meaning to, I found after an hour that I had built three of the major sub-assemblies. Which brings me to this - given that it's definitely NOT a main-stream subject would there be any interest here at Britmodeller for a review-as-I-build type article ??? - Just my thoughts as I bring the thing together, not as any sort of expert, (I'm definitely NOT that), just as an ordinary modeller who happens to like the subject.OK, thassit, over to you.

Mr B Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Thanks Mr. B, I really enjoyed your Philippine AF version over at LSP. Ian. Cheers Ian Just had some minor issues with the outer wings and that pesky nose light.....all else was smooth sailing and do be careful with the guns. They are very fragile........

Jbbusybee Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The Bronco is an intriguing plane, I was on a trip to Hong Kong and found a really cool model shop, the Bronco just kept calling to me, and I had to buy it. The kit looks really great, I'm just surprised to have seen so few built. I'd love to see how you get on. Please share more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Cheers Ian What markings are you going for ?....I have one more to get to ...a Thai one..... Rgds Brian Going with the USAF one from the box, with the red chequers on the rudder - Apparently it was only ever photographed once at an air show (Cleveland Oh. I think), so I can do something I never normally do... finish a model 'clean' !! Hey, Brian did you have any problems with the decals ?? * * * Guys thanks for the very positive response. I'll start properly on Monday once 'Daddies Little Stormtroopers' have gone back to school after the Autumn break. AFN Ian. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ian.....nice choice of markings.....No I did not have issue with the decals.....but I cut them up in smaller portions for the Instruments...........the Philippine version had not much of large decals though only for the tasty sharkmouth....all went on well........ Hope to see updates Rgds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Wee bit of a delay, folks - No EZ Line in my 'drawer of many things' and I need it for all the wiring in the 'pit. I've ordered some but because I'm down here in NZ, I'll be doing a fair bit of waiting by the post-box. It will happen, just a wee bit later than I'd hoped. Don't touch that dial. Ian.

Mutley Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Watching with interest, There is something about Twin Boomers, and the Bronco is on the want list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 After a l-o-n-g wait the item that I really needed to start this build has finally arrived. The Bronco will hit the bench very soon, probably after the Messerschmitt - http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235001751-bf-109g-2-trop/ . It will all become clear as I start the build. Ian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 You could build the german target tug variant with that wire. I would like it. They had their base (Blankensee) 5km from my location. http://www.germanwing.de/Targettug.htm Stephan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) http://www.justflight.com/product/bronco-x Ha !! - I fly that machine all the time in Microsoft FSX, my absolute favourite, especially going between the alps from Bayern in to Schweiss... To do the Luftwaffe version, I'd need to take-off the sponsons and rebuild/fill the lower fuselage. I was VERY tempted, though... Ian.

Stephan Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 You could build a version of the demo team as well. That would give you an additional option. http://www.broncodemoteam.com/ The very first picture shows a Bronco Model B with sponsons.

redcap Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) JUST seen this Ian. I have the kit in the stash and would be very interested to see how it all goes together and a real modeller's views on the subject rather than a magazine or the company's own self-promotional review. Great work so far mate! Gary Edited July 2, 2016 by redcap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
