Lovely little kit of a lovely little car. The only thing I'd do differently if I did another one would be to thin out the body at the wheel arches, to give the dropped suspension a bit more room to move...

Another excellent build and stand out from the more obvious classic/super cars you've built recently. Definitely lends some lineage to the Mark 1 Escort I feel.

Excellent !!
I do wonder about the light blue grill, it seems so out-of-place ? Not on your model, but the real one you replicated ...

Thanks very much, all. It's a little gem of a kit, much like the real thing. And my wife LOVES the powder blue/red combo, so I'm glad I ddi that one rather than yellow/red ;-P
