Good kit, much better than ICM wrong one (be careful: nowadays it is hidden in Revell boxes!) but I see somebody didn't make his homework again. Why the truck is stated "early" if there are optional parts for mid production too? I only wonder why they didn't include also parts for the late vehicle, furthermore 3 of those 4 colour diagrams show exactly late production truck? (w/o cab roof hatches, etc.)

Personally, I found the Bronco kit to be "over-engineered" (read: over-complicated for the sake of make things complex without adding that many real benefits). Since I've been looking into the ICM kits recently can you please share more information about the flows? Thanks!

Hi there, The most serious problem of the ICM kit is this part: Here you can see why: There is DEF correction part but it is in set with sagged wheels so I guess ICM + DEF will be more expensive than Bronco kit alone: However, IMHO there is cheaper solution of this glaring error, it is this one: HTH Cheers!

The insides of the wheel arches are also underdetailed and innaccurate and the steering rod/linkage from the chassis is pure fantasy. Also the treadplate on the front bumper is wrong.

Thanks for sharing guys! Admittedly, I'm not a purist but I think I can live with these flow... However, the "cheap" solution is not a bad one either.
