That mint it is my ambition to own a real on one day, however a replica may be just what i need to fill the ambition as save some money in the process.

If you dont mind me asking how much does it owe you

Is that one of the KARA/ RS automotive/ or mercury motorsport kits????

If so they are damned good replicas in design as well as looking ace!!

The giveaway difference is the indents in the side skirts and in most the rear hanging rear end although a few people redesigned it to hinge like the genuine rs200.

Nice motors though!! Anyone know if they still make the kit or any like it??

IIRC the banham moulds are reproductions of the original ford moulds as banham bought the ford mould then had them rebuilt and repaired as they were not in best condition. They used to provide the body parts both for their maestro based cars and the genuine rs200's.

Did spd get those exact moulds????

would be interesting if someone like RS automotive had the funding to re-engineer thier design to the correct wheelbase and use the dimensionally accurate panels. would be awesome then.
