Matt, I've not seen these "Gay toys" Broncos in person, but I think they are somewhat inaccurate as is...John had one to build parts for Big Oly, check with him to see what he thinks. We need an all-new from the ground up Gen I Bronco, which will sell like hotcakes if done right!

Matt, I've not seen these "Gay toys" Broncos in person, but I think they are somewhat inaccurate as is... Gay Toys... the name of the actual company or just an opinion? ;D I'd also love to see a first gen Bronco, or better still, a first-gen Scout! If I were in your position though, Matt, I'd go for the early Bronc, as there's a great deal more interest in the Ford. Track down a master... it'll be worth it! And please... give us the option of cut or uncut rear fender openings! ;D

I would love nothing more than a first gen Bronco also, but know that it is nearly impossible. However, maybe there would be some interest in a 87-91 Bronco? Could be made from combining the Monogram 80 Bronco, and grafting on the Monogram 91 F250 front clip. Other changes would have to be the rear wheelwells and taillights (supplied from the said F250). I wouldn't know what to do with the tailgate, as, if I remember right, the Bronco's had the chrome insert with the blue oval on the left side. The interior could be easily bashed from the '250 (dash, door panels) and wouldn't need to be cast. And on the flip-side, the removed parts from the Bronco could be used to create a 80-86 F-series. I've always thought of doing this conversion, but have never had the courage to actually attempt it. Just a thought.

Hey Willie, I would love to see it whenever you get back on that project. I always thought that someone out there has had to have made one, just I've never come across one. Same goes for the 92-96. Out of curiosity, are you using the MPC/AMT Bronco or the Monogram. If you are using the latter, and using the AMT 92-96 F-Series kit for the front end and such, how is it as far as scale difference is concerned?

how does this EB look? is it acurate enough? This is MY own master of an eb. It is built up now,but would consider disasembly for use as a master. It is a resin piece. I scratched it in sections then cast it as a single piece. Took alot of sanding and detail work to get it to look right.

how about investing in maybe a 2004-2014 f150 body to slap on the 97-03 f150 frames either revell or amt depending on wheelbase, me personally i prefer regular cab stepside or extended cab shortbed.
