vrsmatt99 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi everyone, After a bit of a break from modelling and concenttrating on a 'real' car project, I got back on it and have jus tcompleted the Belkits Mk1 Escort. I however chose to do the very distinctive Gold and Red scheme of the Alan Mann racing cars. The kit went together really well and was painted using Zero Paints. The decals came from the excellent Motobitz decal kit along with the correct Resin Weels. All in all I really enjoyed building this one and it looks great in the cabinet with my other builds!! Anyway a few photos: Thanks for looking! Cheers Matt 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Very nice work indeed. The colour scheme looks great like this a lot 👍. How was the kit for quality any issues ? I've been thinking of building this kit myself so any info would be much appreciated. Regards Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrsmatt99 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Thanks Andy, The kit went together very well, I had no fit issues at all. The only bit that was abit fiddly was getting the glass in. Other than that, I really enjoyed building it. Id definitely recommend getting it. 👍 Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 That looks like a lovely build, after all who can resist an Alan Mann colour scheme. I must say I'm particularly impressed buy the black edging lines to the colours - to get such a consistent width to such a long thin line must make you some sort of masking master. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Spiny, Thanks for the nice comments. The black lines are actually decals. There is no way I would be able to keep things that consisitant!! 😉 Cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
