I was wondering if anyone knew a kit that resembled a Ford Escort RS2000 MKII. It can be a two or four door. I know there is an older kit that I have seen but it is only a basic Escort and My dad owned a RS2000. If anybody can help me it would be apreciated. I have added a few pictures for reference if anyone doesn't know what one looks like. The white older picture is from the show "The Proffesionals" from the 70's.

Thanks again,

F.C

As far as I am aware there is no 1:24 kit of the extended nose 4 headlamp Mk II Escort and your only game in town remains the Revell-Europe (ex-Esci) 2 headlamp flat front version like this.

While the Revell kit is not state-of-the-art Tamigawa and needs help in some areas, it is workable. I think it would be relativity easy for any reasonably skilled modeler to fab up a RS2000 nose as the real car uses standard 6" round headlamps that could be sourced from a number of more common kits. All you'd need is patience, some decent references of the real car for dimensions and access to styrene stock.

Hope my 2 cents are of help here..?

Cheers,

I think the nosecone is not too difficult, the hardest part would be removing the forest arches and replacing the standard wheel arches. That's what is stopping me having a crack at this, I can't think of a good way to do this.

Here's a couple of ref pics of mine if you want them :D
