When I first published the Review of Bronco Model's Staghound III, it was published with images from a standard Mk. I hull. Now, with teh model 99% finished, i''ve amended the Review accordingly with the new images. The update can be seen:

Bronco Staghound III Review

If you have comments or questions please post them here.

Thanks!

If this is anything like their Mk I kit, I know it will be first-rate. The Mk I kit was an absolute joy to build and is top notch when it comes to detail, engineering and fit. There's every reason to expect that the Mk III is evey bit as good.

My only complaint, as Jim has pointed out in the review, is with the Canadian markings. As with the Mk I kit, it appears that Bronco has not corrected the maple leaf used for the 12 Manitoba's markings. Bronco has used a modern maple leaf design and not the WWII style maple leaf that would be correct . This isn't a huge distraction but those looking for absolute accuracy will have to replace or modify this item.

Thanks for reviewing this Jim.

cheers

Unfortunately, from what i've seen, the Bison design suffers from the same problems and it really needs someone to take a fresh look at the differences. The kit markings for the Mark III, are, unfortunately, pretty speculative. The ones I'm going to use, will probably be those of 12th Manitoba - there's evidence that they DID have Mark IIIs within their ToE in 1945 the rest although interesting are a little too vague for my liking..

Unless for a 'What If' for the Allied invasion of Japan in early '46?

I purchased the Bison decals but still had to modify their maple leaf on my Mk I. A little hand painting with some yellow paint and a fine brush fixed it up rather nicely though.

I don't want this minor issue to detract from what would seem to be an excellent kit that will build into a first rate model. My experience with the Mk I kit was one of the best I've had and I really enjoyed it. Jim's review is excellent and I'll buy and build this kit someday (maybe the Mk I rocket launcher version too...)

cheers
