Italeri 1:24 Ford Escort Zakspeed Gr. 2

George Williams
Looks great but I still prefer the rally versions.

Thanks, i honestly like them all, i start to build them according to time and work space availability
Now i am finishing a 1:350 russian SSBN , the Tula which with its 50 cm (25 inch if not mistaken) has taken over my workspace completely.
Next in line will be either a 1/16 Rolls Royce Phantom Ii continental or a 1/24 hasegawa BMW 2002 Tii from 1975 Monte Carlo, the red / white checkered rooftop

Butiful I would have thought thay would supply decals for the gauges in this kit
Think I will have to go kit bashing when I build mine

Bobby Thumbs
gorgeous finish

@Jv actually they don't, Italeri is the poorer cousin regarding dashboards or cockpit panel decals, but that has been since always, i remember my first italeri kits (i still have some classics) and it is the same thing … now model decals for kit exterior is a different story, they have some high quality and excellent design decals

DerMattes
Is this like on the original or are the wheels way too deep in the wheel wells?
Besides that, looks good 👍

Afonso Braga
@DerMattes probably they are too deep, this cheap kits are easy to build but their quality is not the same as tamiya fujimi or hasegawa. I have built this Ford Escort in less than 5 days, they are worth for their final impact when comparing price / quality / time spent

Jv
I just got 2 of the escorts by italeri here thay cost just as much as a tamiya kit
But tamiya dosent do any of the old escorts so italeri it has to be

@Jv Where are you based, normally i purchase mines from Germany, but an Estonian seller sometimes has knockout prices so i purchase from the baltics, btw i can say it is a trusted seller, always got what i bought, regularly on time.
This escort costed me around 24 or 25€

Jv
Its all good I am in perth western Australia
Its not worth buying things from other place's here after
Shipping costs Its just cheaper to go to the local shop and pay the price
Thay ask
We are fortunate here still to have hobby .shops

Afonso Braga
@Jv i do sometimes buy from BNA but small things like 1:24 lead or resin accessories
