My second 1/18th build: Fujimi Porsche 2.7 RS.







I've built this for a member of the early Porsche club I'm in as part of a charity drive to raise £10k for Macmillian.

I think they deliberately made the kit poorly to give the model maker something to do, as I seemed to spend more time building this than prepping my own real car!

It's a shame the window frames aren't separate as the detail is lacking.

Love the Escort, top job.
Exactly what he said ^

I have all the bits here at home to convert a standard `flat front` mk2 escort to a RS2000 if your interested in doing it? smile

The 1/18 Escort RS Turbo started off as a standard GL model then I used a resin kit bodykit & decals. You cant buy the kit either. Sunstar make an RS Turbo S1 anyway now, white or black (Princess Diana).

The 1/43 Escort is an old Solido model & the 1/43 Sierra 3dr is an Ixo model I think. Both have been resprayed buy me.

Nice work. Out of curiosity, are you bidding on an Autoart Nissan Skyline on ebay?

A rubbish iphone pic of my little collection of Senna cars. A few are missing as there was some problem with the company they came from originally, when my mum bought them one a month years ago.

On the top are the models of the Lotus Exige V6 and the new Esprit that staff were presented with. They're lovely little models.

Here are mine, posted for prosperity as I only got them out the loft to get my free insulation fitted and as they've lived there pretty much since I moved here 10 years ago they will be sold on rather than put back up.
