Gary there are some what looks like tiny flat washers on a tree, afraid to see what those might be for.  Tony |

You guys are right it is a nice kit of an oddball machine.
You also have the option of building an early or late model which is nice.
I'm thinking the early is where i'm headed.
My optivisor has really come in handy of coarse the old eyes need all the help they can get anyway.
I was cleaning up the fenders yesterday and those are almost as thin as PE.
Appreciate your interest people
Thanks
Tony

It's just the later Bronco kits that have come into their own jackwagon, earlier kits are lacking compared to these in the past couple of years.
There are several more rivets on the runners you have to shave off and apply too. Pin wash by the pint. ;D

A little more construction completed. Doors,hatches,periscopes,mufflers and a few bits added.   You can see into the drivers compartment and the gun through the open hatches but I need to look through the spares box for a couple of extra things to fill the empty spots. It's a crying shame there's not an engine in the kit with those big access doors on the rear deck. Beautiful day here in the Ozarks Tony |

Making good progress Tony! Definitely agree with you on the assessment of Bronco kits...I built a couple of their kits when they first came out and they were a bit of a challenge. Since then I've heard good things about their quality but haven't gone back and built anything that they've produced lately. The Zinryi and the Sdkfz 254 are oddballs that have caught my attention though and now that I've seen both of them built up I might just take the plunge...the question of course is when and how...but the odds are increasing. Keep up the good work on this one, I'm sure you'll apply sufficient gizmology to fill the voids on the interior.

Oh i'll find a little someting to go in there Bill,never fear. Mark when I get up tight I take a big slug of prune juice and get back in the game. ;D BJ there's just enough PE in the kit to keep me from going into withdrawal. Good Night All Tony |

Looking good Tony...but to be fair, just once, you need to give us a count of the rivets on this thing. Just once...you know you want to! |
