Airfix Mk1 Escort

[Mr Day]

Well decided to get 1,got it off ebay quite cheap so thought it'd give me somethin to do!It really is a crap copy of the car so thought id change a few things to make it look better,made the front lights round as they were square,cut the front bumper down to quarters,trimmed the rear bumper,cut the outer ring off the hudcaps to make lotus style ones,also painted it different to how it should be as i didnt want red with brown seats,painted some engine bits n pieces a bit different to and finally had a bit of fun painting the driver,will get pics up tomorrow when i finish building it!

Well nearly finished it,just need to make some number plates up as the ones you get aint that good,plus i want my own reg on it,ha!

 

Overall it was a laugh to build but it doesnt fit together very well

 

 

My girlfriend had asked if i was going to paint the driver to look like me,i said no and wasnt even gonna bother paintin him,then i had the idea of paintin him like the joker the same as i had in fancy dress a couple of years ago,thought it'd be quite funny!

 

Anybody else bought/finished one of these yet??

[SebringRS]

bought one, started it, left it Its now painted blue, with loads of brush marks all over it, only paintd the body, not done anymore to it

 

 

Might start again when ive got some more time, take that blue paint off and paint it in another colour
