Bronco model

[Jfromtn]

I would like one.every time around the toys with my kids I look for one with no luck

 

[medwards01]

?:? It's hard to believe that the model manufacturers have not gotten onboard with the popularity of the Early Bronco. The RC and other toy manufacturers have certainly recognized its popularity as evidenced by their offerings....I would get in line to purchase several kits for myself and others as gifts!!

 

[tasker]

i'd be in for a few as well....

 

[TTTGOWYO]

I would buy a few, be great to do with my son. Ok, really for me, but the wife would give me some points for building one for my boy. He would LOVE it.

 

[MartyG]

Absolutely! I never could get why they never made one, but the vehicle is one of the most popular of the 70's. I'd order 60 and give them out through the year (be sure to let Revell know that).

 

[Dan's73]

I'd be in for at least a few kits: one of my current '73, one for a chop/drop/street rod EB, one for my dream offroad EB, and one for my dream trailer queen EB....then likely a few more for my son to build & experiment with. Better put me down for a dozen!

There was a guy here last year that was doing some sculpting & such towards producing a kit...as I recall, he had already made some patterns and was casting them. I had hoped to help with some small parts but, as happens, I got slammed at work & couldn't find the time.

 

[Pflyboy]

That would be me. They were just far too thin and small for what we wanted. I do cast paleo sculptures now. They're a bit more forgiving.

 

[jgattonii]

Count me in for at least a couple. I'd set one up as my project Bronco is now w/ the original "Cloudy Day" paint scheme and all!! I'd keep the other ones for when I finish!

This reminds me of the polls they do in between periods of the local broadcasts for the Vancouver Canucks games. Somehow no matter what the question is, the canucks player involved in the poll always wins. Weird seeing as how the entire viewing audience is a canucks fan. Didn't see that coming.....

 

[luderchris]

I am in for one. Who's going to make this happen?

 

[mango]

Don't like to shop, but I would set foot in a store for one. A few for my household, and a few more for gifts.

Who is going to apply for a job at Revell?

 

[Doyle]

I'd have to have a few. Have them include lift kits, flares and big mud tires.

 

[Tom Dummer]

You can already get tall mud tires. I have all the homemade lifts and accessories ready. I'll disassemble the Jeep models I have had in the attic for the last 20 yrs.

 

[broncoitis]

You could put me down for a couple as well! Would be cool to have possibly a stock style model and another that is modified with lift kit etc.

But any model would be nice to see! ;D

 

[69 Bronco]

I have no idea who, how, when or if this will happen. I just wanted to get some ammo to give Revell or any other model company so they can see how much in demand this would be.

 

[Pflyboy]

Well, there have been several garage kits in the past, the Early Bronco is arguably the most popular and desirable truck out there, and the market will buy 'em up. What Revell is waiting on, we will never know. I think it's a bad business move to let this go as long as they have. Any competitor could snatch up the opportunity. It's just a matter of time.

69 Bronco: Have you checked w/ any other manufacturers to see how much interest they would need before looking into producing one?

 

[Pflyboy]

I haven't personally. I don't think Tamiya is too far off--don't they already manufacture the RC body?

 

[white64]

Do they still design and make NEW kits? $$$$$$ All I've seen is re-issues of old kits...

 

[Pflyboy]

Not too sure. Revell still markets kits that are over 50 years old!
