1/18 Escort Cosworth mirrors
Bought a Pilot Escort Cosworth off ebay a few months back that had some damage to it. Was missing both mirrors, decals were pretty damaged and was missing the lampod and 1 spot light.
But its the perfect base for stripping as the windows are all ok, free from scratchs and cracks. Whaletail is also perfect, another piece that often gets broken.
I already had a Yacco escort, so i removed the mirrors from this, made a cast from them, and then made my own in resin. Pretty please with how they turned out. Just need to remove some excess resin from the pour mark and they are good to go.

Cant do them Im afraid. Ive just taken it apart to see hows its put together and the lights are part of the main body, so i cant remove them to cast. Do any of the other Escort WRCs have removable lights?

Re: 1/18 Escort Cosworth mirrors
I am afraid not... they are all part of the cast I guess
anyway, no worries.
if you are interested I may have more parts to ask from you
such as, Mitsubishi evo WRC LHD dashboard, BMW 2002 side mirrors etc....
do you have evo wrc and 2002 by any chance?
and more over do you have time and chance to do all these resins?
anyway, no worries.
