Since I already done my review at SMM forum, might as well share this great kit with modeler here! Got my Bronco 1/35 Buffalo 6x6 MPCV during my biz trip last week, it came inside a very steady and big box.. Since this is the no.100 from the Bronco 35th range, I belive this will be a nice kit to build even OOB. Let see what we get inside, The manual. Allow you to build three variation. An a4 size of intruction for some minor correction. :lol: Bronco are doing great for their customers! Photo-etched part, decal and some vinyl... Sprues!!! Crispy green styrene! The best part I like about this kit, Bronco give us some styrene tires, instead of rubber tires in most of the kits in the market. Mineral water bottle! The lower hull of the truck, came in one piece and its big! Building in progress and more photos coming up! :lol:

Lets take a closer look on the sprues! Sprue A, Some fragile part are wrap to give give a full protection, these are the side wall of the truck, very thin! The front engine cover. Comparison the size of the hull and a normal lighter, Sprue B Closer look... Sprue C The detail for the interior. To be continued.

Sprue D Love it! R. H. This will be the transparent part for the Buffalo. Look like a stereo speaker? Nah, its a pair of rear lamp... Sprue E I believe is the parts for the engine and lower hull Let's take a look on the Sprue no.F, majority of the part are to form the tires of the truck. Save your money when you thinking to get the PE seat belts! The detail on the tires... To be Continued...!

Review continued, let's take a cloer look at Sprue no.G Wonder where to put this... Check this out, the correction runner! This sprue are mainly to make a correction for the radio transmitor inside the truck. All the photo etched part are well wrap, dont tear of the transparent sticker! this is to protect the PE. To get the part, simply just cut the part together with the transparent sticker, leave the remaining PE part cover with the sticker. OK, finally the decal, so far so good... I belive modern AFV doesnt need much decoation. :lol: My personal opinion Pros : this kit give you plenty of detail, even the PE and some detail, save your time for the scratch build and money too. Its seems like a trend latelt from most of the brand from China. Cons : the tires! I belive thats the only part for most of the AMS modeller out there that we will start looking for weighted tires. :lol:
