1/25 Scale Bronco Models part 3: Bumpers and Roll Cages

 More parts for the Revell classic Bronco


This month we'll look at roll cages, bumpers and nerf bars

Fireball has three different styles of cages





Olson Brother also has a very detailed roll cage



Bumpers and nerf bars

While you could fashion your own nerf / step bars from styrene, why bother when you can order these from Olson Brothers?



They also have this set of rock sliders that mount under the rocker panels




Olson Brothers just released this set of rocker covers with built in nerf bars



When it comes to bumpers, you have to check out this set from Fireball, they are a copy of the famous Protofab bumpers and come in high and low winch mount and with or without a spare tire carrier





These old school tube bumpers are available from Olson Brothers




This set of "plain" bumpers is from Fireball



Olson Brothers also offers this "legendary winch bumper" kit which comes with the front and rear bumpers and a very detailed Warn 8274 winch



Another option is to keep the stock bumper and add the "Cactus Smasher" push bar that Fireball designed for the Baja Bronco kit. Bill Stroppe sold these in his catalog, so they are an accurate, period correct accessory even for a non-Baja Bronco


If going the stock bumper route you may also consider the Stroppe hitch, this was also an offering in the catalog as well as standard equipment on the Baja Bronco


Another option for hitches come from Scenes Unlimited




Fireball also offers this winch bumper, no pictures of the actual unit, just this drawing


This last winch bumper is from Olson Brothers and also fits their 8274 "legendary" winch. It is shown on a Scout II, but it also fits the Revell Bronco
