afx Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Thanks Bruce - It started as the Esci kit but there is not a single part on the entire model that hasn't been modified or scratch built.

alan barton Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Fantastic job! My brother was heavily involved in rallying in the eighties here in Western Australia and after destroying a few Mk 1s he upgraded to a Mk2. I know these Mk 11s well. Went for a wild ride with him in the bush one night - your body finds it hard to believe the G-forces you can pull on a dirt road. Believe it or not, an Englishman now living in Perth has built a stunning replica of this car. I saw it at a book signing by the guy who was the Ford rally team manager - it was very impressive.

geetee66 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Awesome! The overflow pipe on top of the radiator is even the right colour.!! Fabulous details. I like the brake lines, too. Engine is a model in itself ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Thanks Guy. The overflow tube is clear tubing colored with an orange Sharpie marker. I scratch built the pulleys, fan, water outlet, carb linkage, oil pump, distributor and motor mounts. The alternator came from my parts box.

Mr Stock Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 That's is a beautiful build !. I remember seeing some if the posts you made modifying parts, a lot of patience and skill has gone into this one, looks a 1000 times better than the box stock Esci kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabbricaP Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Fantastic build JC. Really enjoyed the WIP. The detailing is excellent, especially like the rear brake n oil lines, very realistic! BTW, what did you make the fan belt out of? Edited May 12, 2019 by FabbricaP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I saw it in person and can attest to a well deserved win. Congratulations JC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
