... I couldn't resist. Excellent condition, reasonable price..
Maisto's 1/18 2021 Ford Bronco. Yes, yes... this is a "cheapy" ($20.00) but for the moment it's THE BEST 1/18 version of this "beast" out there. I'm aware the $150 resin release (later this year) but not sure when a "full function" (all open) diecast will appear. No doubt, Autoart or perhaps Almost Real or even ACME might have somthing "cooking."
At any rate, in NO particular order, here's Maisto's Bronco.... Not too bad overall (for $20...it's SUPERB!!) I'm sure I can remove the hardtop to expose the full roll-bar (as you know Maisto markets a "fully open" -no top or doors- version of this too) and picking out engine detail would be an EZ-PEAZY affair. A full frame is reproduced convincing and that fixed rear window could PROBABLY be re-worked to function.
I'm very serious about a 1:1 2-dr (although my wife might not be onboard...)  Also, thank you John Shamblin! I lifted your Topic Title and subject tagline. LOL 😀Â

@marlowe-or-marty ....  You're right. I may just do it anyway. As you know, I'm not a "truck guy" but I always liked these Broncos. I always said, "If Ford does a retro 2-door, I'm in!"  Well.......... here we are!

Great! The ONLY bad thing is that even smooth "wheeler & dealers" such as I (....if I may be ever so humble) are finding it difficult getting those prices down. As you know, "Economics 101" (supply VS demand) is in full gear and sadly it will cost you, me and thousands of others more cheese! 😣 😣Â

Chris, At $20.00 it's still a bargain. We all do what we have to do.

Great addition...love the looks of the 1:1. I'm a Wrangler owner, so am very intrigued by these. If only they'd offer the manual with the 2.7T, instead of the just the base engine.
