Hi all,
as the title says has the Bronco 1/35 Humber Mk.1 been dropped from their line up?
Having a lot of trouble finding one.

Cheers

Hi Stephen,
Their is a site here in Aussie called Model Nerds, they had one two days ago for $25 Aussie, which I think is about 10-15 pounds.
Hope that helps :-)
Cheers Mike

Cool. I'll check them out. Are they an online store?
If I have no joy does anyone know how the SKP kit compares? There are a few of those around.

I built the Bronco one (build review on AMPS)a then my kids got me the one with the resin 'Michael Caine' which is in my stash. Definately go with the Bronco one if you can find it.

I think I just missed it, it's no longer listed. Only Bronco kit they have is a set of track links.

Steve, that's what I was thinking. I had a look at some online reviews of the SKP and although buildable it looks a little rough and costs the same (at least when the bronco was out). On the plus side it does have some interesting Free Polish and Czech markings.
I also see that the Comet has been dropped too. I think I might have to buy a few other things I like before they go too!

In the meantime I'll keep searching.

Thanks

Thanks. I'll look into it. I'll have to work out the vat and 'handling charge' that Royal Mail screws us with first.

After much searching and a few dead ends (including one seller who listed it in stock, but actually had none!) I finally found one at Hannants last week. I'm pretty sure they were the first people I tried, so I must have missed it somehow.
Anyway, I'm now the proud owner of a Bronco Humber and I'm very impressed with what's in the box. Looking forward to making a start on it when I have my modeling room set up.
If I can find one of their Comet's I'll be a very happy man.

Thanks to everyone who helped.
