Italeri 3655 - 1/24 Ford Escort RS1800 Mk. II: Rally Icon Recreated

The Ford Escort RS1800 Mk. II became a defining rally car of the 1970s. Introduced in 1975, the Mk. II updated the Mk. I layout with a squarer body style while retaining proven mechanicals. Multiple body and engine options made it a popular choice for both road use and competition.

On the rally circuit the RS1800 made a strong mark. The Waldegard Bjorn and Thorszelius Hans pairing scored second at the 1979 Monte Carlo Rally and secured the world title that season. This Italeri kit offers accurate detail and decals, giving modellers a faithful static replica to assemble and display.

Specifications

  • Material: Polystyrene plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue

Will I need special tools to build this kit?

Basic modelling tools are recommended: a hobby knife, fine files, plastic cement, sprue cutters and brushes for paint. A steady hand and patience improve the finish.

Are the decals ready to apply?

Decals are supplied to replicate authentic livery. They usually require careful trimming and a bit of setting solution for best adhesion on curved surfaces.

Is this a good kit for a beginner?

The kit suits modellers with some basic experience. Parts are straightforward but small details benefit from prior glueing and painting practice.

Can the model be assembled without glue?

This is a traditional polystyrene kit that requires glue for durable assembly. Some parts may fit loosely without adhesive, but glue is needed for a solid build.
