1979 “Wild Hoss” Ford Bronco by AMT - Episode 65

- Today I’m building this 1979 “Wild Hoss” Ford Bronco by AMT. This kit went together very easily with only one minor flaw. That flaw was the rear roof line had a slight warp to it making it a little tricky to get aligned with the back of the cab. Everything else on this kit went together with zero issues.
I hope that you enjoyed watching this video as much as I did building the kit.

Nice Ford Bronco, great paint job. The spare tire cover decal looks very accurate 👌
Thank You! That decal went on nicely and I had zero issues getting it into position. I like that they included it with the kit.
Great looking Bronco. Great to see another UA-camr doing full builds. Great job!! Subbed.
Thank you for the Sub! I do full builds on everything except for big rigs. They have too many parts to try and fit it all into one video.
I like also the color, very well done 👍
Thank you!
Awesome build 👏
Thank You! and Thank you for the Sub!
Turned out great! The color worked out awesome.
Thank You!!
The Bronco looks awesome! Thanks for sharing ~ Cory
Thank You! and thank you for watching!
Your Bronco looks awesome! The gold looks great with the white top. Overall it turned out cool! 😎👍
Thanks! I had debated for a little bit on whether I wanted to go with the white or a black top. When I was doing a little research I came across an image of one that was close to this color scheme. So, I decided that this was the way I was going to go with it. Thanks for watching!
Looks Awesome!!!!
Thank You!!
Very nice Bronco! Looks great in gold.
Thank You! During my research I found one that was close to this color and decided that I liked it.
Looks good man nice work
Thank You!
Great video
Thanks!
Nice build, and color combinations! May have to get one. It would look good pulling a boat and trailer or surfboards on top!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank You! It really would look good doing that. I do have a small boat that I could build and put behind it... Thanks for the great idea! Thanks for watching!
Nice build!!!!
Thank You!!
❤
Thank You!
Bronco looks real good!! I recently did this one, thought it was pretty cool
Thanks! When I opened the box I began having flashbacks of the GMC Jimmy I did a while back. That one went together pretty well but suffered from the same topper warp issue. Surprisingly this went together a lot nicer than the GMC did.
I’ve had good results with that Krylon “Short Cuts” paint on a few models now. Great looking build, looking forward to your next!
Thank You!
I like the Krylon "Short Cuts" paint because I'm getting enough paint to do a couple of cars for about half the price of the Testors same size can. In addition, I don't have a huge can taking up a bunch of space and that huge can will fail when there is still 2/3rds of it left. I agree with you, it does a very good job and there is a pretty wide variety of colors to choose from.
Am I the only 1 not bothered by flash? 4 me there's just something so fulfilling about cleaning a part up to look as good if not better than the very first time the mold was shot with plastic. Prep work is up there w the most satisfying part of modeling. I know I'm in the minority cause EVERY channel I watch either bitches about flash or the comments do. But look how frigging sweet u got a "polished turd" looking compared to when u 1st opened it. Dam man it looks AMAZING. Good work! Il subscribe just for the full build. Keep m comin!
Generally speaking, I'm not "bothered" by flash, but in my videos I like to point out the good and the bad about the kit that I'm building for the sake of the viewer. I realize that some of my viewers don't like when I point out the flash and others don't mind it. I have been trying to cut back on the mention of it as much as I can but it is still important to know about it for the person that is on the fence about buying and or building a particular kit and whether or not they want to deal with it. For me, personally, it doesn't bother me and it is all a part of building a kit and it helps to know what to deal with it.
So, thank you for the compliment and for the Subscription! I have a few hundred kits to get through before I cash out for good and I intend to keep putting them on this channel for as long as I can. Thanks for watching!
@scaleautoguysworkbench I stand corrected ur absolutely right. I definitely want to know about the condition of the molds and the builds good and bad which is why I watch the videos. If there was heavy flash or build issues and never mentioned in your video then you are just promoting a kit not reviewing it. And that is exactly what some other channels have become. It has become a pricy hobby and builders should have all the facts on a build before purchase. Without guys like you, all we have to go on is SWEET box art. :)
Placing the top in hot water, until it heats up, will allow modeler to bend the warpage out of it. Gluing is not the only solution. Of course, bend it and let it cool before painting.
Once that's done, only a little bit of sanding would be needed to make it fit the cab better.
Thanks for the reply! I did all that you mentioned and got it really close and decided to go ahead and clamp it in place because it was still poking out just a tiny amount, like half of the thickness of the plastic. I didn't want to sand on it because it is textured and I didn't want to remove any of that.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench I did not mean sand the surface or the texture, I meant sand the edges to match the body opening and eliminate fit issues.
Did you use clamp to hold the heated top where you wanted it while it cooled?
@@rayrussell6258 Oh yes! Of course I did! I did all of the sanding of the edges and pre-fitting before paint, including clamping in place while it cooled. It still had a little spring in it after all of that. So I decided to also clamp it in place while the glue cured. It isn't contest perfect, but it's perfect to me.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench ok. Strange, it usually stays where it is after cooling.
That's useful information thank you very much for letting me know if I encounter this I will try it
How long did the paint take to dry on the body? It looks GREAT!
Thank You!
I gave the paint 24 hours to dry before I handled it. As a general rule, I don't drown the parts in heavy coats of paint. So, with that in mind, they dry relatively quickly. Also, the instructions on the paint cans usually give 24 hours as a general time for the paint to dry. So, I use that as a guide.
@@scaleautoguysworkbench ok great! thank you for the reply. i really enjoy watching your videos! your teaching me alot of different techniques!
@@bradunderwood5698 No problem! I am happy to share my knowledge with fellow modelers, that's what my channel is all about. Thank you
Someone watch hpi workshop one too many times we’re model builders not a Assemblers lmao
Maybe a little bit, LOL!
