Thanks. Just moved. It's packed away right now but I'll add more when settled.

Although I only do 1/48 aircraft, this project caught my attention as the movie is one of my favorites with Redford and Dunaway at their best!!! The model looks great!!! Congrats!
I think there is a Ford Bronco at the opening of another favorite movie of mine, the "China Syndrome" of 1979, but at these scenes it's very clean and bright 🙂
I like yours better, all worn, dirty and rusty !!!
Looking forward to more photos once you get the chance!!

(The strange thing is that the car in the "Three days of the condor" movie is a 1970 Bronco, which, at the time of filming (1975) should have been only 5 years old, so rather new and not as battered.

The car in the "China Syndrome" is a 1978 Bronco model, so when it was filmed (1979) it was indeed new.

Thanks very much. This kit was really a first attempt at weathering a model. I had left this hobby behind years ago but a number of YouTube posters showed me all of the secrets I never knew as a kid.
y thoughts on the Condor Bronco was that I think they may have sourced it as a used fleet vehicle or such from a utility company or likewise. The paint scheme was not a factory one and I doubt anyone would have actually chosen to paint one that way. I figured a fleet vehicle in New York could get that worn looking in five years. Look what the East Coast does to taxis!
I'll have to watch the China Syndrome again. I had forgotten that Bronco, That movie freaked me out when I was a kid. Scary ideas back then.
Another Michael Douglas Bronco is the" little Mule" in Romancing the Stone. Great scene. I drove a lot of these old Broncos in the past while working for Ford Dealers. The early ones were always my favorites.
