Very nice, well done

Thanks guys for all the comments, much appreciated. Learned a lot and made a few mistakes along the way which is all part of the fun.

My first build in 28 years and first experience with an airbrush Had a number of problems along the way with parts not fitting correctly, sink marks or damaged due to the kit being so old (eg warped body) I did however make a few mods to make the kit more realistic and enjoyable. Off to build a couple of planes from my stash and introduce myself to "weathering" before tackling my next rally car ... a Jimmy McRae Opel Manta 400 with AC Delco decals

Very nice indeed and for me the weathering looks perfect (not to much, not too little), well done Jos.

Some useful links for anyone else building, or thinking of building, an RS1800 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/95907-ford-escort-rs1800/page/25/

Very nice indeed 👏 👏👏 I've just started the 1980 Eaton's Yale version and spending most of my time filling sink marks and removing flash. I also filed away ~1.5mm from the depth of the rear arches which has helped the aesthetics, but will also use rear spacers. Also, if you look closely you'll spot the drivers side front right arch is wider than the passenger side arch (not sure how they got that wrong!) If I feel brave, maybe post some completed pics in a month or so (my first build since 1992)
