The Ford Bronco is a model line of sport utility vehicles manufactured and marketed by Ford. The first SUV model developed by the company, five generations of the Bronco were sold from the 1966 to 1996 model years; a sixth generation of the model line is an upcoming vehicle to be sold for the 2021 model year.[1] The nameplate has been used on other Ford SUVs, including the 1984-1990 Ford Bronco II compact SUV and the Ford Bronco Sport compact CUV.
Originally developed as a compact off-road vehicle using its own chassis,[2] the Bronco initially competed against the Jeep CJ-5 and International Harvester Scout. For 1978, Ford enlarged the Bronco, making it a short-wheelbase version of the F-Series pickup truck; the full-size Bronco competed against the Chevrolet K5 Blazer and Dodge Ramcharger.
Following a decline in demand for large two-door SUVs, Ford discontinued the Bronco after the 1996 model year, replacing it with the four-door Ford Expedition (and the larger Ford Excursion). After a 25-year hiatus, the sixth-generation Bronco is a mid-size SUV for the first time, competing directly against the Jeep Wrangler as both a two-door and a four-door convertible.
From 1965 to 1996, the Ford Bronco was manufactured by Ford at its Michigan Truck Plant in Wayne, Michigan, where it will also manufacture the sixth-generation version.
The idea behind the Bronco began with Ford product manager Donald N. Frey in the early 1960s (who also conceived the Ford Mustang) and engineered by Ford engineer Paul G. Axelrad, with Lee Iacocca approving the final model for production in February 1964, after the first clay models were built in mid-1963. Developed as an off-road vehicle (ORV), the Bronco was intended as a competitor for the Jeep CJ-5, International Harvester Scout and Toyota Land Cruiser. Today a compact SUV in terms of size, Ford marketing shows a very early example of promoting a civilian off-roader as a "Sports Utility" (the two-door pickup version).[9][10]
Initially selling well, following the introduction of the Chevrolet Blazer, Jeep Cherokee, and International Scout II (from 1969 to 1974), demand shifted towards SUVs with better on-road capability, leading to a decline in demand for the Bronco.
A dune buggy - also known as a beach buggy - is a recreational motor vehicle with large wheels, and wide tires, designed for use on sand dunes, beaches, roads or desert recreation.
The design is usually a roofless vehicle with a rear-mounted engine. A dune buggy can be created by modifying an existing vehicle or custom-building a new vehicle.
A sandrail is a lightweight vehicle similar to a dune buggy, but designed specifically for operation on open sand.
Sandrails are usually built as a spaceframe by welding steel tubes together.[8][9] The name sandrail is due to the frame "rails" present. The advantage of this method is that the fabricator can change fundamental parts of the vehicle (usually the suspension and addition of a built-in roll cage). Sandrails, as per dune buggies, often have the engine located behind the driver. Sizes can vary from a small-engine one-seat size to four-seat vehicles with eight or more cylinders.[10]
Dune buggies are recreational vehicles that are used in difficult terrain like dirt, sand gravel and it has more engine power and lighter frame to increase the power to weight ratio where as sandrails are made from existing vehicles, typically you wont find windows doors or even body panel on sand rail. Here is an image of 2000cc Modern Dune Buggy named Desert Fox.
A similar, more recent generation of off-road vehicle, often similar in appearance to a sandrail, but designed for a different use, is the "off road go-kart". The difference may be little more than fitting all-terrain tires instead of sand tires and the much smaller size of the engine.

I can't stop binge watching your videos....very inspiring...thank you.

You are so right, 1984 was when everything good happened!!! I graduated highschool in 1984 and my Hobie 16 was built in July of 1984!!! I'm an old fart as well at 55 years old but I'm forever young!!! This was a really cool build. I too had a first R/C car, heck I still have the thing, a Nikko Magnum, and it does have that buggy shape, so cool and so much fun to play with. Good job on the build and the Revell products seem to be pretty nice, gonna have to pick up some of that glue. To get into tight spots, I put a dab of glue on a toothpick but I wouldn't have to do that anymore with that bottle of glue.

[@hpiguy]

It was a good time!

I can’t wait to get home to watch this one! I’ve been excited for this kit.

Beautifully built. The early AMT kit was that quality. As kids we built what we had. These days at 61 i enjoy building these much more tha modern or retooled kits. Also even with its chassis, and interior misgivings the kit is packed full of options. Its much better than the curbsides offered now.

Yellow is one of the hardest colors for me to work with. Looks great. TY.

Right on! Thanks for watching!

[@madmonkey7411]

I love the Revell paints. I work with the aqua color and enamel ones for 5 years now and I'm really digging the coverage of the enamel ones, some of the aqua color ones are a bit difficult but I guess that is the case with most water based ones. I mostly had difficults with the coverage of the aqua color gold and brass etc. but that's the same with Vallejo and Citadel, there I use the enamel ones

wow that dune buggy is a blast from the past. Had that back in the 80s. IIRC it came with a trailer and chevy pick up. Also had the combo kits with the pick up and Motorcycles and mini bikes. Remember them having are tires, but they were hard plastic and came in halves that snapped together with prepainted white letters.

I build models but I don't have a workshop so I prefer to use acrylic paint rather than enamel on my own builds I have used the revell emamel before and yes with a little stirring it can be used straight from the tin It's the drying time that is why I now use acrylic paint more

Great looking kit Chris, I don't often comment but I do watch your vidz.

Also glad to see you using their acrylic paints.
