Belkits Ford Escort Mk1

[Andy Jones]

I haven't posted for awhile due to my parents both being ill not leaving a lot of time for modelling but but I've made a start on these two. The first one will be a street version:-

Wheels are panasports with stretchwall tyres (both from Scale Production.
For the second one I wanted stock wheelarches so the bubble arches have been hacked off and the stock arches built up from plastic sheet - I can see a lot of filling & sanding in the near future !.

I'll post more progress as I make it but it may be slow.
Thanks for looking and sorry for the poor pics

Already waiting for more. That first picture alone nearly made me break my resolve about buying more kits!!

Looking good! Hope your parents get better

Thanks for the comments, I've made a bit of progress on the stock wheel arch version, slow work as there's lots of filling & sanding involved. Still very rough and ready but I'm fairly satisfied with them.

Also got the Scale Production transkit in the post - I'll just be using the engine bay as Ill be using the Lotus Twin cam engine from the Tamiya Lotus Europa.


and also got rid of the extra instrument binnacle on the dash as I want a close to stock interiori

Like the engine bay. Will probably get one myself for my 2 kits. I have no idea which engine goes in which car so I suppose there will be some research involved. They seem reasonably priced as well
