gonna do this one coz my other two escorts are getting lonely



gonna start work on it soon

I wondered when those decal would appear.

Happy Building..

Paul

ive had lots of stuff from you over the years and have been always satisfied with youre products ,
keep up the good work , jerry.

Welcome aboard live steamer, the group build would not be complete without an Escort

Regards Ian D

This became an icon of Irish rallying in the hands of the great Frank Meagher. I'll be watching this one REAL close. Maybe have a later livery for it as a second entry.

This GB just got serious………Jerry’s joined in !!!!!!

I know this’ll be a great build because I’ve seen the other two that Jerry built. In fact I helped him retrieve the parts that were scattered over the hanger floor at the Heli Museum after he dropped one of them. Tears were shed I assure you.
After he rebuilt it you’d never know that it had had such a serious off. A testament to Jerry’s modelling skills.

Great to have you onboard Jerry………The gloves are off mate.

Good luck with the build you `ol racing snake.

Dazie.

Nice one Jerry , yup life would not be complete without an Escort
Grufers

Have had a week off work, but in the middle of house move,so
still having to juggle time spots.We did however manage to go off for a few days
caravaning to test out the new toy,

I managed to do some of the escort too.






Thats it for now,hope to get some primer on later to day.cheers for now. jerry

Hi Jerry,

Just came across your thread, looks good so far! Interesting choice of scheme, are you going to use snow tyres on the Escy?

Keef

Nice start

Your Mrs lets you take models on hollybobs ?
You lucky bu**er.
Daze

I've got into big trouble the last couple of years for throwing a box of gear into the car. 'Your not taking that are you?' 'Yeah'.

Anyhow I will be watching this build with interest as I have the same kit but with the Renaissance decals for Vatanan's '81 RAC car.

peebeep

So are you joining in as well Paul, rather than just watching??!! As is always said, you can never have enough Escorts....!!!

Keef

Ooh aar, I am! I did mention in one of the threads somewhere that I would be doing it, can't remember which one. I really want to get started soon, but there's heaps of other stuff to be done at the mo.

peebeep

Thought you had, but couldn't actually remember!

Cheers

Keef

I was thinking that as well, Mrs Rallychef goes crackers even if mention going to a LMS while on hols (mind you 2 hours ar Frome didn't help)


Come on Paul, you know you want to !!

BTW, great progress Jerry

Regards Ian D

Nice start Jerry, good luck with the build.

More progress with the esci,mainly paint and decals





I have done almost all the after market esci decs now just the belga one left waiting in the stash.

hope you like them all.

Nice work on the Marlboro car Jerry, really looking good!

And yes, I like all your Escorts - but there's a fair few more aftermarket sheets available for the MK2 if you want to do some more!

Looking forward to your progress with the build!

Keef

didnt realise there where more , yes i could keep on building esci till me hands fell off,
but have thirty seven ish ferrari,s that i cant wait to get started on. so many cars, so little time

I know the feeling....!!!

Keef

Nice line up

the best looking escort yet mate. careful you dont melt it with the fire

Here's another one for you Jerry:

Rich

blimee, there really are more decal sets out there ,who makes that one rich?

I think its the old MRM sheet (Rich will correct me if I'm wrong & someone else also does it!) which I also have stashed away somewhere. MRM now trade as Rallysport models (but see Shiloh's thread about how slow they are!)

Rallysport have 7 Mk2 Escort sheets listed on their decals page ;

Reji also do some;

Studio 27 does a different Rothmans scheme from the one you've built;

http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/shop/st27d...polis-1979.html

and there's this Ragged Edge Designs sheet;

http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/shop/leg24...rally-1979.html

Those are just the ones showing as being in stock. I'm sure Studio 27 have done a lot more Mk2 sheets in the past! so there's a few there to keep us going!!

Keef

At last count i had approching 50 different schemes. Some 'works' and some privateer. Most of the works schemes were available at one time or another via most of the online retailers, I can put a list up if you want. Now all I need is the kits to put them on!!!

That's looking great Jerry, like that a lot.

How many of those do you plan to box off, during the Ferrari GB next year?

regards Ian D

That's the one Keef

I also used their (MRM) rhd dash in this one too. I don't know whether this is still available though? Inspired when I got a signed copy of Brookes' book at an Andrew's event!

Rich

Haven't seen the dash available since MRM stopped. But the one I've got is so rough it will probably be easier to scratchbuild one than clean it up!

Keef

Lovely line up mate, plenty more to go by the looks of it, keep 'em coming
