This is a fairly straight out of the box 1:35 Bronco Staghound Mk1. The kit was fun to build and went together fairly easy in spite of the questionable instructions that Bronco provides. It was less step by step and more exploded diagram. They also had the sequence starting with you adding all the bits to the hull sides before building the hull assy. It was much easier to build the hull then add everything else.
The hardest part of the build I thought was making the tank straps, the Bronco PE was soft and bent very easy but there were NO fold lines so you were guessing on all your folds. The straps I ended up with were a little long and didn't quite look right once joined to the hull. The other issue with with the kit was a total lack of interior, there was good detail on the inside of the hatches and the guns were also well detail PLUS the radio looked nice but why?? With no other detail inside it was almost pointless to build up the radio but I still did it and left the hatches open.
This is also my first attempt at heavy weathering on a kit, as a former car guy it sure felt strange to do a nice paint job then cover it all back up lol.
Thanks for looking and please let me know what you think.
