THis is my latest kit number 13 in the series of rally car builds and no it's not my unlucky number, I'm not stupidstious like a lot of people I don't believe in black cats crossing U'r path or any of that other rubbish.

Anyway getting bak to my Ford it will be built as a replica of a car that was rllied here in Oz back in the 70's and driven by a guy called Greg Carr (yep U read right) a Carr driving a car.

Should be good - what are you going to do for custom decals for the livery you're modelling it in?

I remember when kids bought those giant fiberglass wheel arch extensions for their Escorts and fitted them but never got the money to fit the wider tyres to fill them. 1300 escorts with the standard skinny little wheels under those arches always looked amusing!

Alan I'm getting decals from Hiroboy and using those I have ordered them but haven't arrived as yet so maybe I'll have to do it again or email Hiroboy to find out where they are. Oh by the way I did a recount and I have 17 rally cars in Plastic cardstock & diecast so I guess 13 wasn't unlucky for me after all just a passing number.
