What I meant was that the BMW looks a little half arsed, it just looks to me like you have all the right ideas in your head but have just rushed through them to get the car complete....as an example look at the doors.
You got the idea to smooth off the handles and sidestrips but to me it looks like you have thrown filler/Mulliput into the bits you wanted filling, scuffed them over with sandpaper and slung some paint on it. Would have taken a matter of minutes to get them spot on, a little more filler and a little more rubbing down to get them 100%.
Small things like that make such a bigger difference to the overall look of a model, with models you cant go down the route of function over form unless your looking at doing a rat look car or banger racer etc.
I dont mean to offend you but I say what I mean, I personally think the Escort looks great!

Well the legend the Petey is, he sent me some parts for my track and bangers cars.
Just tryed the wheels on thr track car.
Dont know whats better, with or without the logo.
I put the wheels off this on the Focus.

they are realy looking good fella the gold subaru wheels on the focus realy set the color of it off and i think you should go with the logo on the tyres.

ur welcome fella
i should hopefully have the sierra cossie yb motor for my escort tomorrow so i can fit that
i've fitted the wheels and brakes from my 1/24 r35 nissan gtr to it aswell a\nd it looks good with them fitted
where do you all get your mk3 escorts from would like a 1/18 scale and try and make a s2 from it- cheaper the better, also found the milliput on ebay how many packs do you use roughly per car
