AMT 1978 FORD BRONCO "WILD HOSS" 1:25 SCALE MODEL KIT
AMT1304 1304
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 sold from the 2021 model year.[1] The nameplate has been used on other Ford SUVs, namely the 1984-1990 Bronco II compact SUV and the 2021 Bronco Sport compact crossover.
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; followed by the larger Ford Excursion. After a 25-year hiatus, the sixth-generation Bronco is now for the first time a mid-size two-door SUV, also offered as a 16 in (41 cm) longer wheelbase, full-size four-door, competing directly with the Jeep Wrangler as both a two-door and a four-door (hardtop) 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.
For the 1978 model year, the second-generation Bronco was introduced; to better compete with the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, Dodge Ramcharger, and Jeep Cherokee, the Bronco entered the full-size SUV segment.[16] In place of a model-specific chassis, the Bronco was adapted directly from the Ford F-Series, becoming a shortened version of the F-100 4x4.[16] Originally intended for a 1974 launch,[16] the second-generation Bronco (named "Project Shorthorn" during its development) was postponed to 1978 in response to fuel economy concerns related to the 1973 fuel crisis; the second-generation Bronco was released for sale after development was nearly finalized on its 1980 successor.
The second-generation Bronco marks the introduction of design commonality with the Ford F-Series and retained the lift-off hardtop body style for the three-door wagon, though now fiberglass over the rear seat area only (and not a full-length steel top), continued through the 1996 withdrawal of the model line. In spite of its short production cycle (only two years), the second-generation Bronco proved successful, overtaking the Blazer and Ramcharger in sales for the first time; initial demand was so strong that customers waited several months to receive vehicles from dealers.
The second generation Bronco is based on the Ford F-100 pickup truck chassis (1973-1979 sixth generation). Approximately one foot shorter than the shortest F-100, the Bronco has a 104-inch wheelbase (12 inches longer than the previous Bronco). The second generation Bronco is still fitted exclusively with four-wheel drive;[17] a part-time system was standard with a New Process 205 gear-driven transfer case with the option of permanent four-wheel drive and a New Process 203 chain-driven transfer case. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Got to get atleast two of these kits.... So sad I don't have my 78 Bronco any more it was a great truck! Way better than the later version and more comfortable than the early version. The. 78/79 were based on the F series trucks 351M/400 engines and C6 transmissions with a cast iron transfer case all gear driven these trucks were tough and dead on reliable and are sought after today.
dad had a 79 Bronco, 400M manual trans. Was a beast.
Had a 79, best truck I ever had
I own a 1/1 scale '78 Ford Bronco.
A little tip for the kit-bashing crowd. Don't throw away that piece of X plastic support on the body. Those pieces of styrene come in handy for future projects.
They can be used for all kinds of frame and chassis rails - rat rod customizing - even big rig supports and structures. Don't limit your imagination ! !
My brothers shake there heads that I save a lot of part trees and body supports. I tell 'em unless they're really into it they'll never understand.
Heck I built a trailer hitch out of part of the tree
I had a 1978 Ford F150. I bought it new. It was the biggest piece of JUNK I have ever owned! I use to think of how I could drive this pick-up into a brick wall at 70mph and survive. It was a very happy day when I finally sold it. FORD= Fix Or Repair Daily. Mine proved that saying!
For the focus issue, I noticed there are often black spots/dots on the upper right corner… it looks like there are paint residuals on the lamp, some kind of dry droplets 😊
I prefer the Chevy K5 Blazer from the same year, in 2 tone red and white. Although they both look very similar. When it comes to Broncos, I prefer the first gen model (hint hint). The current gen version in 2 door is also pretty cool.
Great build, one of my favorite body styles of Ford Broncos😊❤👍
That is a great kit, can be built in sooooo many different ways!! 👍👍
Great job, I recently built the 1972 Chevy Blazer Crew Chief. You did an unboxing of this model kit a few years ago.
Nice.
Now it's time to get two of them..
I hope they bring back out the early 1980s Bronco.
Love the name! I put that on my license plate. Wife was NOT pleased 😀
i would really like to see a tour/ tutorial of your workspace and all the tools you use.
That looks gorgeous. That color you picked for the decals is fantastic. In 1987 a friend/co-worker had bought a '79 Bronco from a guy that took extremely good care of it. Garage kept. His was red and white. It to had the brush guard, tan interior with the same rims and even the same spare tire cover.
The 78 Bronco is my favorite as it's the last year of the round headlights. The rectangular headlights were available as an option for the XLT trim package, and the only option for 79-80 and beyond. The XLT trim was popular and this same mold could be used for a 79 so I don't blame them for not using the round headlights. Perhaps I will be able to adapt an earlier grill to get the round headlights I want. Which means making a Mobius kit marry an AMT. Anyway... great build as always, Chris, and thanks for getting my brain obsessed about finally being able to build my dream 78.
I'll be trying my best to make the round headlights for my build too.
it is a 79. the 78's didn't have a cat
Nice build Chris, excellent color choices 👌.
Great build I can't wait for this kit. They need to reissue some more vintage kits like this one.
Great build Chris I'm glad they're bringing back some classic stuff
I'm glad too, that the classic kits are coming back!! Just wish there were more decals for the interior and engine bay. Thanks again for the nice video and kit preview.
👉Build on!!👈
That is a great kit. I think that is the same shape as our Aussie 1978 Bronco.
We still had the 351 Cleveland ( model is the 351 M ) and a 4 barrel too. They were pretty popular and worth big $$$$ now.
Wow Chris I love your Wild Hoss 78 Bronco! Those are the first of the full size Broncos! I've built several of Revell Monogram's 1980-81 Broncos and I'm glad that AMT is bringing this one back! Love that Hunter Green with those decals!
Another great build! Dad had a 78 Ford Bronco. Gonna get this one to build and paint it up just like his.
Buildin' a Bronco - you weren't horsin' around.
😆😆😆.
LMAO about the OJ joke! He just passed yesterday and there is talk of the white Bronco as his funeral procession
sweet build!! I want this one! would look great all muddy 😊😊
hope its better then firestone f350 kit bad bed fit in mine my buddy had 79 ranger packs on his bronco with all wood
Can't wait to get this one!!
Awesome Build. I just bought this kit. I am just getting into modeling. What Brand of Glue do you use ?
Thank You for your time.
I hope that a 1990s Bronco gets reissued eventually, because one of my dream builds is the OJ car.
I love watching your videos usually while I’m working on my own kit😁 love your playlist, right up my alley when building👍 thank you for inspiring my builds…keep on keepin on🤪
Nice build sir! Have one from years ago and also won the kit from a online auction.
Ok Chris I have a question for you I just got the wild hogs bronco for Christmas I noticed that you were using some kind of liquid before you put the decals on the beast can you tell me what you used you did a great job my friend
Hi just like to add that in my research the decals that are yellow,gold, orange are for the 78 Bronco Free Wheelin package.Cheers
I don't think my Cadillac converter is working, it's still a Mazda. What gives?
I love this. Especially the colour and decals. I have the original issue.
Really nice work, the smaller silver pen was that a Bic marker. Sorry I couldn't see it very good. But nice as always.
You are really good with the decades 👏 . Especially the boat when it was coming off all twisted but you always get them straight. Great choice with the colors too.
I'm not sure why those mirrors are labeld as Western Mirrors when they are factory Ford truck mirrors. West Coast Mirrors look like semi truck mirrors and they mount above and below the window like on a semi.
What paint do you use? Cause I tried out enamel spray for hobby things and it worked like crap so I was wondering what you used?
Chris what's with the music sounds like pink panther cartoon music☺️
Superbe maquette je suis fan de votre travail 👍
Buy another Bronco, Moparnut62! Enjoy it again!😁
Nicely done! I seem to remember this also being issued as a Firestone edition w red graphics??!
What kind of Glue do you use which gives you an almost Instant Bond???? I have had some Success with the glues I have been purchasing, even the Tamiya Lime green Top CA glue. But nothing as Quick as what I see you using in your Builds. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. Another Great Build as usual. Thanks !!!
Here you go:

Dash decals!!! You get em Chris! I loved the show.
Just picked up this and the Supra kit at HL......can't wait to start them!
Nice review, don't you love when people call it a cadillac convertor, haha kills me every time
That is a breif 2nd generation Bronco (78 & 79)
Do you sand the mold lines off the bodies before priming?
I had a 79 Bronco when I was younger. Loved it. It ended up on 18-44’s with a 460. Got over 500 hp out of the old 200 hp big block. She was a blast to own. So I bought this model and I’m going to attempt to match mine from 1979. Having an issue with parts 26 and 27 in the second section. I can’t figure out how they go. Can anyone help?
24:53 gives a pretty good look, I came with the same problem, working with an original kit and the instructions are a little vague 😅
I'm back building after 7 years. I'm looking for a ultrasonic cleaner large enough for model bodies. I NEED cheep. Any help????? Love your videos!
Yeah. That reminds me, I was wondering if you still use Simple Green to clean the parts before you build? I've seen you do it in your earlier videos.
And how many cleanings can you get out of a bottle?
@@kennyspaulding796 I just bought a gallon. I don't know. I was hoping Chris could answer these questions.
@@richardbennett8678 oops. Actually I meant to ask Chris, I just forgot to address him 😆.
That's actually a 79. Square headlights.
Another classic build mate👍
You make step 5 look to easy I'm literally stuck on step 5 please help
I want one of these to go with my ford truck theme I'm on working at
Looks like a nice kit, excellent video. I am curious if the grille would fit the AMT Superstones Ford pickup.
(I believe the O.J. version Bronco had A/C )
Picked mine up hobby lobby today
I drive a 1978 Ford Bronco and awhile ago I looked for a 78 bronco model kit but only found the 78 F350 by AMT and built that!! Your video just revealed the existence of this thing to me thank you so much I love you
I remember when LA COUNTY SHERIFF used these 240 ROBERT
now IF AMT would put that chrome tree and tailights in the 78 ford firestone truck kit that would be awesome, and do a normal bed instead of the super camper special, then fix the totally wrong underhood fenders they would have a great kit , as it sits the boss hoss has a more correct underhood detail that covers the inner fenders, then you have to use the mobeius 67-72 firewall to fix the gross errors, the bed is a mess and you have to use the 80-96 inner from Monogram then relocate the wheel well cutouts, and use the mobeius frame, then do a kitbash to fix the errors of 4x4 suspension, CHRIS your build is excellent, im only pointing out the problems with the AMT 78 ford truck
I've been waiting for this kit for a long time. The gibberish state plate is odd, don't know what they were thinking there. The engine is a 351 or 400 M, a different series from the Windsor or the Cleveland, though it looks similar to the Cleveland. These were the only two engines available in the '78-'79 Broncos.
Good choice of color - it all works together. Thanks again.
There is an aftermarket decal sheet available for the orange Free Wheeling markings that has all the exterior emblems and a lot of interior and under hood detail. It is produced in the Netherlands 🇳🇱

I have recently started to build models again, I used to do it as a kid, and I have found that this hobby, as an adult is quite relaxing. I appreciate watching these videos. They help me with painting techniques and to see how you take your approach to your model. I did have a question on the chrome wheels. Were you using a black wash to give it a more realistic Chrome look?
I enjoy your videos, you make it look so easy, while producing fantastic results. I remember buying these kits in the early 80s for around $7 Cdn,,,,they were definitely one of the nicer kits from that era. I haven't bought any reissues, but about 10 or so years ago found an original kit and started on it. Since then the hood has gone missing and the windshield broke, but now with the re-releases I'm sure I can find those parts and finish mine after all these years.
Nice job really like the older kits
Chris, I think I will have a great solution for all those small details that you are asking for that the Round2 decals lack. Drop me a message for details.
Awesome build!! I love it!! Such an amazing work!!
You got the model I got the real thing
These videos help out big time!
The green you painted looks much better than the blue on the box. It works much better with those decals.
The color you've chosen reminds me of one I used to see about 30 years ago that a watersports operator used to pull a jet ski. It was two tone green and white.
I'd like to see if you got it the 78 ford f350 4x4 with the Firestone box art
I'm not s Ford guy except for older models. Nice job 👌
great looking model
The transmission is a C6
I didn't care for the green decals at first but they kinda grew on me.
I have the first issue
The sharpie you used, is that a paint sharpie or regular one?
Plain ole regular ones.
I remember building that kit, when it first came out.
Have to get one those
Beautiful.
Twin I beam!
Oooo I need that one!
Built this in the early eighties can’t wait to have another go at it , great build Chris
Chris+ another great build love the color combination keep up the great work
A friend asked, What glue are you using with the brush applicator? Great build Chris.

Hi
351m
i can't wait to get mine, probably gonna do it in red
What is that that you're putting under and over the decals?
Hot tap water with a drop of dish soap in this case.
For complex curves and decals I'll use decal solvent.
@@hpiguy Thank you for the quick response!!
Can't like you videos enough. You've made modeling way more enjoyable to me.
Glad you like them!
great choice, green on green looks awesome.
What type of glue(s) do you use

Looks awesome. I love Broncos.
Nice to see your videos. They make my day every Time.
Hello i have a question. What am i supposed to do with old Models that i build? Like i legitimately have no space anymore. Do i just throw them in the trash or what? But i think its to bad to do that
You can probably rotate your displays between the old and new. I actually bought a car transporter trailer model I'll have to build soon to hold some of my excess cars!
I need a few of these. Love the green paint with those stripes
Want to build my dream truck with a mobius 300 six
O.J.!
It looks like a great kit. Great build with awesome color choices. It looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I really like your exterior/interior color options! Looks great on this truck!
Great job Chris!
