they are a very good copy mate , come out better then i thought they would
i have taken all the decals off again now so i can finish the bodywork..lol
still not sure what to do although i liked the blue stripe down the middle and the sponsor decals so they will make the final set up i think.

roy the mk1 cortina is a fantastic model mate the detail is exellent imo.
i have the lotus mk1 which i have added some minilites to and that will stay as is , they are autoart so have there build quality about them.
the project one i am working on is a rally version but i got it in bits , the detail is as good as the lotus version biggest difference i can see is the engines.

wont park it on the road as it wouldnt stay in one piece for too long....lol
still trying to get the guy to take something for it but he insists i take it for nothing , seems wrong to take his pride and joy for nowt.
will get pics up once everything is sorted.

the lotus has the twin cam engine like the avo mk1 escorts but better detailed imo.
the rally one has a standard crossflow engine but again very well detailed.
