This is the Tamiya 1973 Ford Bronco 4x4 Truck Kit. The polycarbonate shell accurately captures the unique form of the Bronco. Front & Rear light cases and mirrors are all precisely reproduced with durable ABS resin. Parts such as the front bumper and large-sized block tires with realistic tread pattern provide the model with a realistic scale presence. Fully-enclosed front and rear gearboxes are equipped with differential gears for smooth cornering. Metal-plated wheels included. 4-wheel double wishbone suspension features oil dampers for excellent shock absorption. LEDs to depict headlights (white) and taillights (red) are included.
American 4WD vehicles produced prior to 1966 were viewed as large, crude machines, but the Ford Bronco which was released that year broke the mold with its compact design and created a dynasty. The first generation "Early Broncos" were produced until 1977 and remain extremely popular even today.
The Ford Bronco is a famous American 4X4 off-road vehicle. This 1970's model was among the first series called "Early Bronco" which were produced during 1965-1977. Three types of bodies were released; the fully-open "Roadster," the single cabin pick-up "Utility," and the "Wagon" which had a resin roof. The body featured triangular protrusions on both sides on the curved front hood which worked well as a guide for drivers to accurately measure the body size while driving. The front suspension features coil springs combined with the rigid axle, which was a first for mass-produced 4X4 vehicles and works well both on-road and off-road. The Bronco is still greatly popular around the world, particularly in America, where many are used as cross-country and rock crawling vehicles.
