Detail Images
Views of the assembled instrument panels, the different dial clusters represent different styles seen in references.
Note the difference in panel width with the Bronco panel being too narrow but the details are better defined than on the Trumpeter panel.
Also note the different sizes of the oil tank under the panel, it was not clear from references which is the correct size?

Bronco ModelsTrumpeter
Gear levers and foot pedals, the Bronco pedals are under sized and hump under the gear levers not large pronounced enough
The detail on the Bronco gear levers is better defined than the Trumpeter levers.

Bronco ModelsTrumpeter
Assembled windscreens, the Bronco screen is too narrow as mentioned but the detail on the Trumpeter screen is
overly thick and the clear "glass" join in on the outer side and quite unsightly, painting this would increase the thickness of the frames even more.
The remaining details on the Bronco screen are better defined than on the Trumpeter screen.

Assembled cabs, note the incorrect side panel contours on the Bronco cab resulting in the cab front/windscreen being 2mm too narrow.
The Trumpeter parts while having the details less defined have the correct side panel contours and cab/windscreen width.

Close-up of the side panel showing the incorrect Bronco contours.
Apart from this issue the Bronco details are far better defined than on the Trumpeter kit.
Note the joins sems on the upper cab side/top section on the Trumpeter kit that will need some work to eliminate
while the corresponding join on the Bronco panels is almost non existant with the overall fit better on the Bronco kit.
