Bronco Models

[Damocles]

Hi Folks,

This not a review, as I am suffering a serious dose of ‘Man-Flu’, and just simply cannot be bothered.

But I really had to comment on the quality of two kits by Bronco I got today. To be completely honest, I was astounded by the detail of these new tooled injection moulded plastic kits. Having recently come back to modelling, it is clear how much manufacturing has come on in recent years. Picture are of some parts, still on the sprue, completley untoutched.

For reference, the kits where their 1/35 German 3.7cm FLACK 36 and 2cm FLACK 38, but the photographs are only from the 36.

Apologies for the quality of the pictures, the Macro setting simply couldn’t get close enough.

These are my first models by Bronco, and if this is typical of their other products I really can’t recommend this manufacture enough.

And to top it all off, their instruction booklets are so exceptionally detailed, with plenty of colour, simply exquisite !

Fantastic detail Chris.

I guess this was slide moulded?

I really like Bronco. Quality.

Bronco really stands out quality-wise. I have their Bailey Bridge and it's a massive tower of parts but they all look very, very good. I've also seen some of their early WW2 British stuff like the Valentine and the quality of the detail is astounding.

I've been really impressed with Bronco kits, having first come across their Submarines. I have since bought quite a few of the military vehicles and the USS LCS2 Independence, which is a superior kit compared with the Trumpy effort.

The Bronco Staghound that I build really amazed me with the sheer number of parts in the kit, it took forever to build !
