HB is a decent kit

What I don’t like about the Border kit is that the track blocks are divided in two. That really got the part count up!

I found a thread with a link to my build, but it doesn’t work:

But then I also found the photos from it on Photobucket:

In no particular order, these show just some of the shortcomings of the Bronco kit. I think the first photo shows how I relocated the fuel filler hatch, which was in the wrong position. Some others may show how the turret proportions were off. I think the red lines indicate how everything is in the correct orientation after moving the turret to the rear.

ZTZ V
ZTZ IV
ZTZ III

ZTZ X
ZTZ VIII
ZTZ IX
ZTZ VII

ZTZ XIII
ZTZ XI

Be aware that the early kits of Bronco and Hobbyboss labeled ZTZ-99A represent a much earlier version, unproperly called in this way. This version is deeply different from what is called ZTZ-99A now, that appears to have a much higher shape than the early models.
