I have start to wounder if we will ever see this kit made from them... As now it's so long time since they said that they was going to do it so they should have done it already... Look at all new brands like Meng, Takom when they shows what news they will release, it dont take many months for them to release their news and i dont belive they started to make the kits 1 1/2 years before they show them on cad photos here...
I hope i'm wrong about the Bronco kit, but i have not so much hope left that we will ever see it...

Well, I still have hope that this will be released. They did release that huge Horsa, and Maxx pro is still showing up on their website.

I tend to agree. Why do a modern US vehicle, of which there are already several of the MAXX PRO, on the market already? The MAXX PRO is done in plastic AND resin/multi media. AFV CLUB did the same thing a few years ago with their "Coming Soon!" M8 75mm Howitzer Motor Carriage. They repeatedly showed this model in their "New Kits" ads, and then never released it.

Of course, if the kit were to be a Tiger I, we'd have seen it long ago...

I believe we will never see a Maxx pro released. It may be a licensing issue with navistar international. Look at Mengs Ford f-250 I believe it's licensed by Ford for Meng to produce. Again I'm not sure just speculating. I don't see why companies would want to produce this in plastic as these types of vehicles can be modeled in both military and civilian use. I know kenetics makes one and maybe I'll buy that kit one day. I work with resin all the time and I don't care for whole models made if resin...expensive, labor intensive, soft details,etc. HOPE FULLY MENG IS LISTENING and will think about producing a Maxx pro dash someday...please Meng!
