You are of to a good start with this Rory and not hanging about, nice one Cool
Can the model be built with the lamp pod re-fitted after the decals are fitted or are you doing away with the lamp pods,
If there was a spare lamp pod knocking about I'd be happy to get my hands on one Wink

I have the guts of an Autoart M3 upstairs so the decals were scaled from years ago. The artwork is rough on this one and has since been well improved-its on my 1/43s.

Just have to enlarge the sheet. Also have 1990 Killarney, MAnx and GAlway rally plates done. As for the spotlamps-it will depend on what rally I do the car from as there are photos of the car on the Manx in the dark! Funny light in the kitchen makes the white paint look cream too!

Nice work, will make a stunning model.

If you are in the notion of producing decals, I would be very interested too.

Later-much later-will be building 5 and then after that perhaps a trans kit of decals and a RHD dashboard-but its weeks away so don't get too excited as they will not suddenly appear next week!

All 5 now have names attached to them even if no money has changed hands. Will be stripping the shell over the weekend.

Slow slow slow-trying to get a good paint finish on rubbed down factory paint is the difficulty. Thinking of having the shells soda blasted to remove all the paint. I need to get some money in soon and I guess that will put the pressure on me to do them. I have your Escort Cosworth to give back to you-been sitting up there for 3 3 or 4 years now!
