TBH, I didn't know there was a Bronco one until after I had ordered this one. But I don't mind, I intend this to be a quick build (by my standards anyway 😉) and Tamiya is much more suitable for that than Bronco 🙂

I think it was €5 cheaper where I saw it, so I'll see that as the price for a model that can be built more easily 🙂

Interesting, I see some comments were deleted from this thread, which is why I look like I'm talking to myself above 🙂

Hi Jako, I know, the person who made them no longer belongs to scalemates 🙂

I figured as much 🙂 There are still some comments by him on other albums, though, so I guess he forgot to delete those.

(For posterity: the missing comments above were about the Bronco kit, the other person saying it's better than the Tamiya kit and cheaper too, plus mentioning he bought it for about €19. This hopefully lets future readers fill in more or less what I was replying to 🙂)

> I've had my eye on that kit

I would certainly recommend it, it's the kind of kit you expect from Tamiya. My only qualm is the link-and-length tracks, which I'm not a fan of, but I guess I'll use them anyway. It's mostly a matter of deciding how to best tackle them so I can add them after painting instead of before.

> I always talk to myself

Oh, I talk to myself plenty, it's just that I normally also get the other half of the conversation 😉
