Bronco: M1224 MaxxPro MRAPPosted: Thursday, September 28, 2017 - 09:29 PM UTC
Bronco is promising an interesting 1/35th scale release in the form of a M1224 MaxxPro MRAP. A look at the supplied images certainly look promising to me.

Very great news, waiting for this one.. But it looks like they have take away the option with sun cover on the turret that they have shown all the time until now...

Magnificent. This is what I've been waiting for.... absolutely great kit with lots of options. I have Legend full resin kit, but I have to get this one as well... perhaps kitbashing them into one model.

Almost 5 years of waiting for this kit from Bronco. It's looking more hopeful~! Great to see the prototype!

On this new picture can read the official name of the vehicle instead of abbreviation on the first boxart.

Finally! I am very happy about the news, although I am already building kit from Kinetic. This kit looks more detailed than Kinetic`s version , although the issue of price is always relevant. Is there any information about the price?
Details of suspension and engine looks just fine, although hardly anyone will make a version with an open hood, and the suspension is not visible. Nevertheless, we are waiting for the first reviews!

It's not a new picture. It's several years old one (2013). The one at the beginning of this thread is new.

I hope someone comes out with a Super MaxxPro conversion....!!!!

Tim, Super MaxxPro conversion? I'm not familiar with the Super MaxxPro. According to the Navistar website there are the following versions:
MaxxPro
MaxxPro-Plus
MaxxPro Dash

The Bronco kit offers two different turret configurations one closed and one open with both M2 and M240 machine guns fitted on the turret! Is that a configuration used in any action vehicle?
