[sortedford]

Does anyone on here do them?

 

Some may remember i started a model of my red and blue Escort years ago, i've just found it out again as I have nearlly finished my Megane model (Just the engine and decals to do).

Has anyone else made any? if so stick some photos up!

To do:

Fit decals to replicate glass roof

Fit F1 roof decals

Fit front bumper F1 decals

Fit rear bumper F1 decals

Do Brembo decals

Wait for new alloys to arrive

Mod engine to look like the drve one

Try and get a new Renaultsport decal set (looking unlikely).
