Well I promised Old Skool some Bronco pics and here is my impressionistic 1980-86 Ford Bronco on a shortend CC-01 Pajero Chassis. Built by combining an Original Blackfoot, Blackfoot extreme and the capper area from a Parma lexan shell and lots and lots of fiberglass fill and reinforcement. I will do more later like tire rack roof rack, mirrors etc. I cut up one of Scollins wonerful F-350 interior and window kits to fit and used a cowboy hat head from some early Tamiya kit. Remember I'm not overly concerned with being totally accurate but rather having a recognizable Bronco to the casual viewer, I hope you enjoy.


Might do the optional tire carrier Well I guess its a Bronco 9.25 inch wheelbase some Hilux parts going up I like these 80s Fords careful uh oh fresh scrapes checking view I love cutting up XCs

Nice truck but the tires are not right, needs a scale type tire, then would be awsome !

That is the classic color for the Bronco. I remember these were one ugly looking PU, but is macho to a point that is nice. I guess is like Charles Bronson, he is one ugly guy but he is appealing .....Go figure

Seth, you should stop wasting your time at university and either take up photography or start your own scale rc manufacturing business. I know that I'd be a customer.

Pic 7 would win this month's competition in my book. Nice job Seth, now go get it dirty so it looks more the part and we will never know when you are taking reference photos of real trucks or showing off you latest creation. What is next???? Perhaps a recovery vehicle/??? HINT HINT

The Bronco has to be one of my all-time favorite off-road cars, so it's very nice to see an rc version now Very nice job on the car, and the pics' backgrounds look very nice with the car.

Thanks fellas, I would really like to have it on a dual axle chassis but this was more cost effective, I do plan more details after I finish up some other rally cars and misc truck projects on my bench

I think that Mr.Tamiya really must consider you as the new body designer of his Company! Perfect work as usual!

More and more I'm becoming in cars/trucks I don't pay that much attention to. And that's because the examples displayed on here are amazing! I really like this! Looks real, nice shape, nice big wheels and tyres. A great model for sure.
