Just how accurate is Bronco Models 19 set from their their Daimler kit?
Who makes the best version of a 19 set? All opinions eagerly sought.
Thanks,

I think the newer Resicast offering is very good, with antennae bases too:

Here are reviews of the Resicast and Formations sets. https://armorama.kitmaker.net/review/4161

I have the Bronco set and the Resicast one at least is much more detailed. Having said that if it's only going to be partly visible go for the Bronco one

The Resicast one includes the Variometer which Bronco DON'T include. Pat's comments are correct, if your model isn't going to have the radio clearly seen, go for the Bronco one - it's essentially correct. On the otherhand, the Resicast one will look outstanding if clearly seen...

Thanks for all the replies. It is only going to be visible through the open drivers hatch of an
