bronco pzkpfw 35 (t) thank you build

[wookiee76]

Number 2 in a series of thankyou builds is proving to be a tad trickier than the first, now dont get me wrong, i enjoy a complex build but sometimes companies do take the mickey just a tad.
The pedal box is 8 parts, i managed to break the steering levers taking them off the sprue so decided to scratch build replacements, not too well but they will do, most shots have a cocktail stick for size reference. For a superb review with, it has to be said, the right amount of dread see Adam Mann's you tube channel.

Got the interior pretty much done, will leave weathering until i can get a better handle on just how much of it will be visible, not a lot is my initial thought. Parts fit so far has been excellent and the styrene sands easily, cuts well too just some of the parts are extremely delicate.

Oh my god, wow. That's more complex than i feared. Looks beautiful though. I guarantee when I build mine i'll be coming back to this thread a number of times.

[wookiee76]

To be fair, yes it is complex and fiddly but everything fits well and the instruction are clear and so far correct, onto the bogies next which after a quick count appear to have approaching 40 parts per bogie, gulp!

[MarkVerploeg]

Aah yes , good old Bronco
Where the company motto is why use 10 parts when you can do it with 30
The build looks very nice though
Keep up the good work

Superb work bud!!
Exceptional detail. Paintwork really pops it too. Really well done.

Cheers mark and mike, managed to get one side of the running gear built yesterday afternoon before the eye strain and associated skull ache set in, and here was i thinking that the exterior might be a tad simpler!

I have only built one Bronco kit and that was a Staghound. Yes, there are a bunch of tiny parts and complex stuff, but the instructions are quite clear, and I had no fit issues at all.
I like how this one is turning out and may have to get one myself... once I get my current projects completed!

[wookiee76]

Finished the running gear, assembled the tracks and added some pigmenty dirt to the interior. I have removed a few links as the tracks had more sag than my ex.

[wookiee76]

Quick update, starting on the upper hull which is even fiddlier than the lower, good job im near sighted lol!

[wookiee76]

Construction complete, everything fits well, some light issues with the upper hull but they were traced to some slightly misplaced pe and now onto painting and weathering.

[Coen]

I'm still livin this kit and build. That's some nice work Wook!!

[wookiee76]

Thanks Mike, considering the level of fit and detail also whats in the box its a damn cheap kit, £35 considering that an equivalent dragon kit would be £45 plus its great value for money, may have to invest in some more bronco kits.
