As a kid I built the Matchbox Morris C8 Mk.II, 17lbs gun and Jeep kit, and it was a favourite of mine, which I would like to relive, but in 1/35. Is there a Morris of that type available in 1/35?

This vehicle is a future projected release from Bronco. Notb sure how long you might need to wait as it has been advertised for quite some time.

Is it the same? It looks a lot higher. But Matchbox might have been a bit liberal with the dimensions. 😃
Thanks for your reply!

Don't judge the kit by the box art only. The tilt on the Bronco Picture appears to be set higher on the tray. Most pics show the bottom of the tilt just above the rear wheel fenders, but the box art shows it set much higher, like this restored one
.

Others show
