1/24 Revell (ex ESCI) Ford Escort Mk2 Rally.

[roym]

So far the only kit of the Mk2, it's accuracy issues are well known. Lucky for me this was a commission build of a current rally car that shares features of the kit which cause problems if you are doing one of the original factory units. (i.e. the height of the rear arches). Mostly oob, I just sanded the front arches to better represent the 1:1 and converted it to RHD. I also modified the sit by having the rear axle mounted out of position compared to ESCI's intentions, looks better now. Also added mud flaps, Had a nightmare printing my own decals, not happy with them. Just gone off to the new owner, hope they like it.

Very nice Roy.  If you every choose to build another one Fireball Modelworks offers a very nice set of the Minilite wheels and tires (FMR-049) for this car.  Here is the link.
