As far as I know, there aren't any EB model kits readily available.
There is an old kit of a big-oly like Bronco made by "Hirobo". These are VERY rare and always demand a high dollar on ebay. I've only seen a few of them on ebay in the past 15 or so years.

Also, there's a few resin cast Bronco bodies. Not sure how available they are these days though. They only really contain the body though, you have to come up with the frame, axles, etc from some other truck model kit. Here's a few links to those.
Cheez Cast Resin
Other Resin Ford Broncos
Finally, a member on cb.com was working on making molds and such for his own home-grown EB model kit. He has pics in his gallery and they looked awesome! Not sure what the current status is though.

Thanks for your reply. I have signed up to the Classic Bronco website and put out a request on it. The Japanese model looks kind of funky, with the longer hood and shorter box. Looks like it was patterned from a drag racer.

I believe it was patterned from the famous baja racer "Big Oly" driven by Parnelli Jones and Bill Stroppe....
