Good evening to all,
this weekend I finished Bronco's Staghound A.A. in 1/48. It's build OOB, no extras added. Painting was done with Tamiya acrylics, various washes (MIG) and some pigments.
The level of detail is very high, the instructions showed many pieces with wrong numbers, left-right sometimes not correct. I spent more time fighting the carpet monster under my table .
But in the end I think it was more than worth it. Thanks for looking, comments are welcome.
greetings ro

Those not familiar with the Bronco kits have no idea of the number of tiny parts there are. That was what discouraged me from building one. The Canadians had about ten of these AA variants and were used for rear echelon duties. it looks like a flawless build.

Great job on the finish! I love the wheels on these armored cars that give them their distinctive look. I too may need to add one to the stash

Robert, just a wonderful build. Love the paint and weathering. With today's kits that come with PE and plenty of detailing parts, OOB builds look great. Believe me I know. I'm a OOB builder too.

Excellent job. Hard to see that it's "only" 1:48 scale.
