Revell ‘71 Ford Bronco

[NOBLNG]

This is a nice little kit! I had fun adding a few little details to it. I detailed the engine bay some, modified the trailer hitch with some 1/8” square aluminum tube, added sunvisors to the windshield frame and opened the side windows a bit. There is a huge gap between the inner and outer tailgate panels that I really should have filled somehow.?  Paint is Vallejo light blue.

So nice and clean. The color is spot on for the period.

Clean build, great attention to detail and nice paint.  Add that to what seems to be a great kit, and you've got a winner.  

Would you mind telling me what exact paint you used for the engine (ex: Model Master #1614)?  Looks exactly like the darker (corporate?) blue Ford was using then.

Thanks Monty!

This is what I used…don’t know if it is still available anywhere?

As your bottle shows, that P/N was originally Ford Engine Blue, a shade I used on a Mustang engine I built in the early '80s.  At some point,  Testors modified it to a slightly lighter shade and called it Ford/GM engine blue.  The Ford guys seemed alright with it, but I know it didn't match the blue of the engine in my '80 Corvette.

Pretty sharp looking little Bronco.  That color combo is spot on man.

Really, really clean, and super-nice job with the underhood detail, too...T B

Very nice Greg ?

[BDSchindler]

Very Sharp!  I love it!

[2doors3pedals]

Nice work.  You have captured the essence of the first generation Bronco well. I'm inspired to pull mine out of the box and get it going. 

[BDSchindler]

Kinda looks familar...

[dino246gt]

That looks so cool, and real! Great job!!

 

[slusher]

I have the new Bronco kit and want to do the same color scheme to it. Nice build.

[carrucha]

Nice Bronco.  Cool color combo.  Good engine detailing.
