standard;


tinted;


green one is metallic graphite grey and red one is flat black, just use a little ball of blue tack in each light to keep the chrome there

Saw this pic when I was haveing a look at that massive garage thread linked to in general discussion.

I like the idea in this pic. Where the models are, all around the railings, so you can see them from almost every where and from every angle.

Yes mate, I have all the RS500`s, UT Escorts (and modified ones), Mk1 Escorts, MK2 Escorts, RS1800 Escorts, MK3 Escorts, RS200`s, Cortina`s, Sierra Cosworths (Autoart and Minichamps) plus many other 1:18 Ford models and many modified ones too(but only Fords).
Keep looking in the Ford mags, you may see them soon in two of them, and maybe RSOC rallye news if I have time.
All now insured due to value.

Yes has cost a fair bit, spent the same as my real cars lol.
No decal flake as they all stored in glass cabinets with no direct sunlight.
Have a few favourites, RS500 (the rare one) Ford Capri (No1 as also rare), RS Turbo models as made myself, RS1600i models as I made them before sunstar etc
