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,

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
