Hi there,
For s project I need a 1/24 Cortina front suspension. It is quite hard to fabricate myself, but there are no 1/24kits or models of the Cortina right?
Now I am looking for something that looks like it. Something with an upper wishbone and lower sort-of wishbone. I will post some pics of the original. Any help will be highly appreciated! 1/18 scale maybe?

1/18 scale maybe?except for the Autoart version, which is a bit expensive to pull apart at 70 euros.

If those pics are parts of your car, just eyeball the parts with some rough dimension measurements and start cutting up plastic, and robbing parts from other cars. it is likely you will never find anything accurate at an affordable price for such an obscure car.

There was one South African produced Mk1 Cortina transkit for the Esci / Ertl / Revell Escort. But they are extremely rare, I only ever saw two on ebay.
No suspension detail however was included in the transkit.
I will see if I can find a link somewhere for the transkit or at the very least pictures of it.
