1/18 Diecast fans: Escort XR3 coming soon

Just found out that Sunstar are producing a 1/18 scale Escort XR3 in black and yellow

Hopefully we`ll see some more old XR`s and RS`s

Let's hope they make more classic Ford models. A 1/18th Sapph Cosworth would be nice

Shouldnt think it`ll take to much for Sunstar to make a series one RS turbo as they already got the basic mould with the XR3

I've just dropped them an e-mail.

I've got a Audi Quattro they did and that's not a bad model. Not up to the standard of my AutoArt Cossie but then I only paid a tenner for it at Trax.
