Escort RS Cosworth

Before any says something, yes I know I'll cop flak over this one as it is 4 cyl turbo car and not a muscle car, drag car or hot rod, BUT I am building this one as a street sprint car/circuit racer. An obvious change to the colour style over the rally car, not a copy of any particular car. I have used the wheels from a WRX rally car, just painted titanium grey. Interior will be much the same as the kit except for deleting the passenger seat.

Cool pommy pocket rocket,like the colours on it.

You won't cop any flak from me Dave. We can show any type of car on this forum, not just muscle cars so relax and do your own thing. Your ideas sound great and you're off to a good start - keep us posted.

Hey Mate
Cheers Marshie

Yep , no flack from here either , I like all cars , not just nose heavy ones

Does it have wheels & an engine?
No problem then...

Thats cool mate .Goes great in the garage ,where did you get the garage from.

Alfaholic, do a search for The Workshop by me in The Workshop and you will see how I built this garage.

Well I just put some clear coat on and 2 b*^&%$d things happened:
clear coat has already yellowed AND
as I sprayed, the mist picked up an aray of shit, fuzz and dumped it on the white.
Now have to sand/clean it up and respray the white and maybe he green as well.
F%$K IT

awesome colour scheme

Sounds like one of my builds. Looks great though.

Pisser! That was looking real nice.....

Thats a bugger Dave, I must say your garage makes a fantastic back drop.

SNAP, thats what i'm gonna do with mine, more or less. Different colours but, that green's a bit bright for me.
Shame about the clear, i hate it when that happens. If its any consolation it look good so far.

Yeah white can be a bitch to clear.

Update?

G'day Dave, mind telling us what brand of clear you used and are unhappy (?) with? Thanks and cheers

Small update on this one. I have sanded the white , re-masked and resprayed the white. Didn't bother clear coating in case I have the same drama with it yellowing. I put the yellowing down to an old can of Tamiya clear. I don't recall ever having this problem before when using a fresh can. I bought a heap of old cans of Tamiya spray off a bloke and they had a bit of age to them. Haven't really got back into this one apart from fixing the paint. Its been boxed and put back in the cupboard. Will look at it after the Queensland Model Hobbies Expo.
