1/15 Scale Ford Escort RS Crosworth 4X4

[Bfam4t6]

Hello All,
My name is Dustin. I usually spend most of my time building paper aircraft, but Rick pointed out this group at www.cardmodels.net, so I just thought I'd contribrute what little I am able to contribute to this group. I bought this kit about 6 or 7 months ago from Spishop online. You can get there here www.e-papermodels.com/ They have a pretty good selection of racing vehicles, but I don't believe they carry this particular kit anymore. To be honest I am not sure where you could get it now.
Anyways, the kit is a 1/15 scale Ford Escort RS Crosworth 4X4 rally car published by 3D Paper Model. I do not no much more than that. It features 8 and a half color pages of parts, and 2 and a half pages of diagrams. I guesstimate that it has several hundred pieces by looking at the sheets. It appears to feature opening doors, hood, and trunk. Also, I believe the wheels turn. Since I have not built it yet, I cannot say much else. Here are a few pics to see the cover and a sample of the pages and diagrams.....

Dustin,

Yes i agree, the Escort is a great model, and I was soooo happy that Joseph found that model

I bought two copies of this kit, i do want to get to build this car.

I can't wait to see the wheels turn and doors open.

Rick,
Do you know anything else about the publisher? Have they made any more rally cars, and can you purchase them anywhere? This seems like a great kit, and I am an avid car fan, I just haven't got around to putting many model cars together. I mostly collect 1/18th scale diecast. But, if I can find some more kits like this one then......... ;D lets just say I'd need to build some more shelve for my wall

[rickstef]

from what I have been able to learn Dustin, this is the only kit they produced

Did you manage to buy the Betexa Hummer? 1:18 scale
check it out

Sorry that it took half a year for me to check back for any replies, but thank you for the pictures Murphy. They are great!

For anyone interested in the kit, SpiShop is once again carrying it as of a few days ago. Look at Murphy's pictures if you need a reason more persuasion to buy it.
