Revell 1/25 Baja Bronco Model Kit Build Review 85-4436 as the Bronco in Role Models

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

Stumbled across your channel sir. I think this is the first time I have seen a car started and completed, step by step and, as I am getting into the model car genre, you dispelled some of the 'fears' shall we say. Great vid and you got yourself a sub. Thanks a lot, Al

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for watching, enjoy!

[@johnwilliams7102]

The grill and hood vents super detail by Revell.... chasis & suspension, everything beautiful.

[@rider660r]

I learned to drive a '71 when I was 10 in '81 and have since owned a '67,'76 and still own a '68 since I was 14. I've had the orig kit since it came out,but haven't even opened it yet. Looking at getting a few more and the Baja's. I'll eventually have a collection of them,painted the colors of the ones I have actually owned and paint a few in colors I may want to change to on the '68. I restored the '68 back in '89 and painted it the same white/black as the mud race Bronco that my made into from the '71. The '68 is still all 100% factory Ford steel as back in '88 one could still get a grill,tailgate,rockers,and front fenders directly from Ford.

Fastest model builder in the US ....did I tell you that I like it ? Great job Chris

[@hpiguy]

Thanks man! I like to zone out and build build build. Have to remind myself to stop and film at certain spots.

[@vortexmodeling]

totally agree

[@eclipsehorse8693]

Great build Chris! Im working this kit (the Ford Bronco early edition, the blue and white one) right now as a matter of fact! I just pulled plastic out of the box, and started preliminary painting. Thx for showing us how it all goes together and giving us an idea of what to expect- you're a lifesaver! Much kudos for going another ten steps and replicating a movie vehicle as well! This kit has so many possibilities, I was considering getting another kit and turning it into a Park service ranger vehicle or another type of general purpose work truck- the possibilities are endless! :)

[@hpiguy]

Enjoy your kit!

[@eclipsehorse8693]

@@hpiguy Oh, I am! OMG I forgot how challenging this hobby was :) I originally got it for a 1 day build, well here's been close to three and Im still in paint and pre build...LOL

[@michaelkovach7973]

Nice to see what's in the box and seeing it come together in your video Chris.

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Mike, much appreciated.

[@mikebreazeale2563]

Wow! This one really looks cool. I like it! Well done Chris... Another one I am sure I will have to have as soon as it's available. Great video and build review Chris! Thanks for sharing...

[@hpiguy]

Thank you Mike!

[@jamiesale9460]

as usual - an expeditious review. Thanks for the tips on the paint, too. Your work is fine and the result is enviable great

[@hpiguy]

Thanks James! More to come. Changing gears for the next couple kits coming up. :)

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I have the regular Bronco kit. It looks really nice. This looks fun, too! I'm probably going to pick up the Revell Jeep kit Saturday.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks, do so soon. The Jeep Honcho is now backordered until May on Tower so grab it now if you don't want it to disappear for a few months.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I think my local hobby shop still has one. I was actually talking about the Revell Jeep Renegade kit. I almost got it when I got the GMC 4x4.

[@markgorski4996]

Ever thought of building one of these using the lift kit, wheels & tires, tube bumpers and detail parts from Fireball Modelworks? I would love to see what your version would look like.

[@hpiguy]

That would be cool!

[@kevinmcbride6621]

Thanks for tip about "Fireball" = great source for 4x4 +++ 60s-70s car wheel & tire sets @ lots less $$$ than "raiding" kits! Both Revell Jeep Honcho & AMT International Scout II will benefit from Tires, wheels, winches & jacks from this source!

[@richardbates2367]

I hope they make a ih 1100-1300 71-79 truck like the scout kit?!

[@Toppervision1]

Well I finally got to this video. Great great job on this build! Truly a splendid kit!

[@hpiguy]

Thank you!

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

I picked up 2 of these glad I did I may need a couple more thanks Chris looks sweeet!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks, I wonder what the next version will be, first the stock truck now the Baja, I'm sure they have some neat ideas up their sleeves.

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

hpiguys Workshop we can only hope lol

[@colleena755]

Great build and video!

[@od1452]

I like that you do a review and build. Often kits look good but are a bear to build.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@jacklin694]

Turned out great I just had problems getting the windows in the top great build as always

[@hpiguy]

I was wondering how they'd work out like that, so I glued them to the windshield frame first, and then they just went into place on that small groove in the door panel nicely.

[@keithsherman8345]

I'm jealous, I used to build model cars but supplies where iffy! So I went military. At 63 eyes and hands don't cooperate! Nice!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks man!

[@njcivicwagon1]

Great kit. Great review and Great build. Nice job Chris. Thanks for sharing

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jorge!

[@chopperbaldwin610]

That is cool great looking build, my friend. Keep up the great work and have a great day.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@Ulfstigandr]

As off 2020 i wonder if they even still do the fender flare body. I bought both the standard bronco and baja bronco and neither has the flares.

[@DarthRemey]

fantastic review and build up. love it

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Darth!

[@MLFranklin]

Beautiful Bronco!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@madshagg1]

very nice brother.....nice adaptation and alterations....

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Drew!

[@kenswonger4738]

no plans ove building that model yet this year.i have other models ahead ove it.

[@nickefgen9219]

I’ve got several of these kits and I’ve got the other kit that doesn’t have the fender flares on it, I’ve built both versions already and I’m building a third on e like this one you built, I’ve got a the real bronco sitting in my drive way not the strope bronco just the regular bronco, I’m building the model to match the real bronco I’m even using the Same color from the real bronco on the model, I foun😢 someone online that makes resin parts for this bronco kit and got the resin door inserts to make the bronco into a roadster model like the early broncos from the factory then I’m going to paint the bronco I’m building like my one in the drive way

[@thomassoltis5862]

Awesome bbrother thanks for sharing with us keep up the awesome work

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@dannymontoya1235]

Very good results. I couldn't do any better wouldn't it have been easier to paint as you build. Just curious

[@hpiguy]

Thanks. I prefer to do sub-assemblies and then paint, then assemble it all in the end so that I don't have to scrape paint off each part, glue, then repaint any areas the glue removes paint from.

[@mikewagner9553]

Awesome job looks outstanding

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Mike!

[@richardbates2367]

Sweet is that a 66 ford bronco??

[@davidpayne4315]

Nicely done

[@hpiguy]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jamesezekiel5728]

Great build!!! After watching several of your 'truck' builds, I have a question for you --- How do you kill the shine on the sidewalls of the tires?

[@hpiguy]

A wash of black craft paint will dull it right out.

[@jamesezekiel5728]

Thank you. I am about to start the 'standard' Revell Bronco kit.

[@honestfigurereviews]

Great video Big like from me 👍 Can you maybe show us how you paint the wheels to look realistic thank you

[@hpiguy]

Yup, any of the videos from the past couple years or so go into far more details.

[@JonnyHolms]

Love it, came out exellent Chris. What a great frame and suspension, the detail is unbelievable. Chris, what type of glue ( brand ) do you use and what did you use to dull down the chrome. I've been back building for a few years but still have a lot to learn. Thank you and Thank you for another great video. Jeff

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jeff. :) My personal favorite glue is Bondene by Plastruct I use it on every kit, second would be Tamiya Extra Thin. For dulling chrome and most flat coating I use Treehouse Studio Matte spray from Hobby Lobby. Have a nice week!

[@oldschoolmodeler]

Are you going to do a build review of the 93 gmc sonoma 4x4 from round 2? I haven't seen anybody build one yet even though it's a new kit.

[@hpiguy]

I have a release of that kit from the 90s as a collector kit, but I do not have the reissue they released in late 2017 so it's not on my build list at the moment. Thanks!

[@bowtie4315]

I have now watched some of your videos and you always comment you are going to get the parts in the parts washer. What is this parts washer you refer to?

[@hpiguy]

Just a dollar store dish pan and some generic simple green degreaser. :)

[@bowtie4315]

Ok. Thanks. I was picturing a small version of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m56nl5ufqptppq8

[@hpiguy]

Hahaha, you know I bet there are some guys out there in model world that think you need that, but a simple dish pan, some cheap degreaser and an old toothbrush are all that's needed.

[@Tom-fw7sy]

Question, how do I assemble the wheels and tires? Instructions seem to indicate use no glue.

[@hpiguy]

they don't want you to blue the pins in the wheels, but I do, so it doesn't roll.

[@Tom-fw7sy]

@@hpiguy Thanks but how does the wheel rim drum assembly hold together?

[@kaelynb4081]

hey i have a question. i recently bought this model and i’m having trouble putting the wheels on without gluing them. what did you do to get them to stay? also i know that this video is a little old but i’m just having so much trouble with this😕

[@hpiguy]

I almost always glue the wheels on tight.

[@kaelynb4081]

hpiguys Workshop thank you! haha the instructions said to not glue them and this is my first build so i just didn’t know what to do😂 thanks

[@bigeddie1231]

great build up got my two copys of this kit

[@hpiguy]

Thanks, enjoy yours!

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

Great review and build as always Chris what glue do you use?

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Jeff :) I prefer Plastruct Bondene for most work and use Tamiya Extra Thin in the green bottle for places I need a small applicator. Bondene really melts the parts together and dries fast.

[@Jeffsmodelgarage]

hpiguys Workshop thanks Chris I appreciate you getting back to me I do have both glues I will use them more

[@jimbolaiya]

First time I’ve seen you not use a spray can !

[@hpiguy]

LOL, it does happen! Thanks!

[@ChrisBrizzi]

Looks great chris! Quick question, what product do you use to flat coat the chrome? Thanks!

[@hpiguy]

TreeHouse Studio Matte Acrylic from Hobby Lobby. Works as good as dullcote, just much less expensive.

[@MrBMBuilder]

Are you building a car yard in scale as well as your going to need one :)

[@hpiguy]

Haha, right? 1/25 scale dealer lot.

[@scifimodelshop]

Great kit build think this looks great topless ohhhhh my

[@hpiguy]

She's a looker, thanks!

[@rodkeough7227]

How do paint all the small parts when it all together.exhaust ,manifolds and shocks are all together

[@hpiguy]

Hand paint with a small brush.

[@alconk7129]

What does the Windex do in the paint? Also how do you apply the Future floor wax on the glass? Thanks, been watching a lot of your videos.

[@hpiguy]

Windex thins it out so it can spray. Future is applied with a brush or airbrush. Simply brush it on or spray it on the parts you want glossy and let it dry.

[@alconk7129]

Does the Future act as a clear coat and can u spray it over decals?

[@hpiguy]

Yes on both. It's a great acrylic clear for just about anything.

[@luna_cat1019]

SO COOL!!!!!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks!

[@ToddHLHG]

Great video! Looks like a fun build.

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Todd, it is a very nice easy build.

[@rogerlacuelll4586]

What glue did you use

[@hpiguy]

I personally like Bondene but most brands work well.

[@richardarios5706]

what was the wind x used for ????

[@hpiguy]

To thin the paint.

[@TheSteamLocomotive]

50/50 inexpensive acrylic paint and Windex on that body?

[@hpiguy]

Yup!

[@TheSteamLocomotive]

@@hpiguy; Looks great! Those are $.50 a bottle at Wal-Mart. Windex is cheap too. Gonna give this a try.

[@thesteamingbean.]

Why did you add the windex?

[@hpiguy]

Windex thins the paint so it can be shot through the airbrush.

[@GeneralHobbies]

good movie

[@hpiguy]

Yes, a great comedy.

[@luna_cat1019]

Lol

[@ennisanderson2719]

👍

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Ennis :)

[@paul1349]

I don’t think Broncos Russ the bodies are made of stainless steel

[@hpiguy]

Early Ford Bronco bodies were made of stainless steel? Do you have a link for that? I've never heard that before, I would be interested in reading that.

[@jamiesowell]

Nice review and build as always. I pmed you. Please check it out. Thanks

[@hpiguy]

Thanks! Replied.

[@kgcustomscalemodles4762]

Thanks for sharing i just went to the hobby shop picked one up check out my stock one on my channel

[@hpiguy]

Nice job, I like the red and white.
