After spending ages deciding what to spend the Modelzone vouchers on that i got from my brother for Christmas, i settled on these two, i thought they would complement each other well and look good with my Auto Art 3dr Cossie. The Golf is my favorite of the two, as it was the cheaper and better built than the Escort, but im pleased with both, i hope you like them.

I like the Escort, do they have any S1 RST's? Where did you get them from?

Nobody does an S1 RS Turbo I'm afraid (that I know of!). There have been a couple of homemade ones on Ebay recently & I know one went for the best part of £160! I can put you in touch with somebody who can possibly build one for you, although it would be a converted XR3 as above, not with the Turbo bodykit.

Apparently Minichamps are releasing an RS2000 later this year so I've been told but we'll have to wait & see.

And if you like old Fords, hopefully you'll like the one I have for sale on Ebay at the mo:






Do a search for 1:18 Rothmans Escort & it should come up. smile

I got them both from Modelzone, the Escort is Sun Star and was £25 and the Golf is Solido and £20 both die cast and built.
