maltsr Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 This build has been on the go for many months and was inspired by a local car here in Napier and a similar one I found online. It's a Belkits 1/24 Ford Escort rally car painted with Tamiya Aluminium and Dark Racing Blue spraycans. The model is box stock apart from a slight lowering. Still undecided about adding some racing decals, I quite like it as a weekend warrior.
martinfan5 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Lovely Paul, is that the one you I sold you ?

DukeE Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Such an epic car. Nice build, like the paint.
Phildaupho Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Great looking Escort. I always liked that body style but they were never available in Canada.
stitchdup Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Cool, I like the look without the race decals but maybe some white squares/circles for race numbers but without numbers on them would look cool
PatW Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Superb Paul. We still have some of these rallying on a regular basis here in the UK and Ireland.
peekay Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Excellent! I SO wish there were more English (and Australian) kits.
Bainford Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Very nice Escort. Looks great without the decals. I've been very curious about these kits for some time now. It looks like they build up very well. Nice work. I really need to get a couple of these, one of which I would build as a weekend warrior, similar to yours.
Silver Foxx Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 This looks real nice , I have one of these , never thought of doing it in this style , well done on your build .
espo Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Great looking build. I like the paint treatment as well. I've seen these on You Tube Vintage Rally racing. They are still the terror they always were.
spencer1984 Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 That's a great looking Escort, nicely done!
