Default Intercooler...

I had the Intercooler delivered today from FORD for the WRCs Escort. Made of real Alloy (not plastic chromed).

Once I have the mesh I will decided if I paint the intercooler black and leave the mesh silver.

Or, Leave the intercooler Alloy and spray the mesh black. ( Im Swaying to this at the moment ).

Silver would possibly look better, as it might stand out more, but I suppose you could spray it once built. I nearly bought an escort wrc shell last week but they had sold out.

Default Intercooler

Yes Matty,

That's what I thought. Have black mesh with the silver showing behind it. But like you say, once I have the body painted up I will be able to tell better...

The bodies did sell quickly, It was the same for the REPSOL & BASTOS WRCs shells. I had watched them for a while but all seemed to sell in one night....

Im hoping L&L models will be getting more in......

Default Wing Painted.

So 2nd stage of the WRCs wing complete.

Painted in TS-15 Blue as stated by TAMIYA for this ESCORT WRCs. Its came out better than I thought and they do look better than the pictures.

Ive had a look at the drying/hardening time for this paint before the semi-gloss is applied and TAMIYA state 1 week...

So in one week I will semi gloss the wing..... This is too make sure that the drying time differences between the Blue and semi gloss do not crack the semi gloss as the two have different drying times......

Well had the cockpit turn up today. Driver and Co-driver. I had no idea how big this was

Although it will look good when completed. I will do a step by step build of heads and paint.

I have put the TB IV EVO by the side too show how big the cockpit is. It also includes decals for the dash, gear stick, steering wheel, sponge spacers, Velcro and heads......

Default Wing

After checking the wing and giving it a polish with Pledge. Im happy with the finish and have not bothered to lacquer the wing, due to it not being used.

I have stickered the wing with the correct sponsor decals as per the original. FORD & VALVOLINE.

This will be ready for fitting, once the body comes out the body shop...

Default Body Suit stickers.

Hi Alan,

I managed to find 2 sets on Ebay. I bid on both thinking I would win one, but won both..... Which has worked well as I have the REPSOL WRCs to do.

They are 1/24 size, so very tiny and Im thinking they are water slides....

Default Cockpit Painted.

Cockpit Painted. Im just waiting on a 1/10 fire extinguisher to complete. It will fit in between driver and co-driver.

I searched for FORD rally drivers to see the suits but couldn't find any, so I went for the colours of the Rally Car Blue/White.

I have drawn on the co drivers pad an actual Rally Map, showing the stages with the dots.... The spare wheel is stickered up along with the tyre...…...

The faces are the same, so tried to get two different faces... With the helmets, I filled the screw holes in the backs of the heads and smoothed to the shape of the head. Then painted.

Really happy how its turned out, but theres a lot of work in them... …..The first picture is how you receive the cockpit.....
