They are fairly new company based in Hong Kong, so far they put out two kits: Hotchkiss H39 and A34 Comet. I have the Hotchkiss and it looks to be great little kit in the box, it even has basic interior and engine.Their site:

I was very happy about the Comet, considering that Bronco is a new player, their models are of good quality....

Having said that, they have a lot to learn about marketing, first of: their releaselist have been out for a long time, but the kits never hit the shelves even vaugely around promised time ... and theres a long way to go, befor they have completed their releaselist.

And, their homepage haven“t been updated since 28. february ... not good in a world where internet plays such a big role in marketing, better no homepage than an old and crappy page.

So far they have released 2 kit, both have recived good reviews and I have no problems recommending the Comet, even if its not up to the latest Dragon standards.

Cheers
