I'm glad I came across this, and from one of my favourite builders too
Back in the 90's I had an escort, just like this. It was my first decent car, and it cost me a lot of money. I remember going to the bank, for a loan, to buy it! I had to have an interview with the bank manager, before he approved the loan. Boy, how things have changed!
Anyway, I loved that car so much, that I found this exact kit, and built it while on vacation. It didn't last, because my boys were young and they liked it and used it as a toy. Skip forward 30 years and I go in search of the kit. I find the Revell version, and the AMT version! Only last week, did I actually get the correct colour for the car I owned, from the car spares store!
I think you know, what my next build is going to be 😉

Dominik Weitzer
i like your story 🙂
I didn't know the difference between the amt and revell kit. I think, they are not unboxed from amt to revell. all i see are different bumpers and LHD on the amt.
Thats interesting!

i had nearly similar story :-D
In the company where I did my training as a car mechanic, there was such an Escort XR3i for sale, which I wanted. Unfortunately, I was too young... and could not afford it. The escort was sold very quickly.

That's why I had to build it red. looking forward to your build. Bozzer

István Szücs
@Bozzer, please, share that build!

@Dominik, wonderful result!

Dominik Weitzer
Agreed Istvan - i would llike to see Bozzers build too 🙂 . i missed to make pictures.

Thank you 😉 much appreciated

Bozzer
Lol, you guys will get to see it, I promise.
I mainly hang out on here, these days, so my builds get shown here.
The AMT version is a curbside. I don't mind that, because of my passion for them. The Revell kits, have an engine/motor, and that I know all about! I was the local "go to" guy, for changing the timing belt. I had every variation of the car, apart from the RS. Truth is, I'd have another today!

Mr D
Nice 👍 good memories of these 😀.

Christian W
So cool to read of all that memories. Thank you for showing this beauty and unusual kit. Hopefully Boozers Escort will be in the row soon 😉

Bozzer
Well, you might get to see it, before you think?
Body is in primer, a few bits to attend to, top coat tested and it's close 🙂
I can only do a little, each night, but weekend should get a lot of progress.

Taking a first row seat!

My first encounter with Kelik's 3D decals didn't look very promising at the start.
But the final result (using the PVA glue) turned out better than expected.
Take a closer look at the ejection handle - it's printed on both sides! (I put it back to front of the cockpit)
I can only highly recommend this stuff 👍 And didn't even use the whole set 😄

Nice! That ejection handle is something esle, I like that a lot.

Cuajete
A very nice decoration, Łukasz!
I also plan to do the same using Syhart decals, better than those included in Revell. And the special set for this decoration of MRP paint cans (MRP-207).
If you can find them I recommend them.

Very nice cockpit 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Thank you and welcome everyone!
@Cuajete: I already have a BilModel paint bought a loooong time ago. If you have Syhart decal (I assume it's the same as Revell's one is printed by them) you need only the brighter orange of the two included in MRP set. The darker one is for those who want to spray the lion themselves.

Raphael Bolle
also following, very nice work

Łukasz, Shyhart decals are not the same as Revell decals. Shyhart decals reproduce the color effect of this decoration better than Revell decals. I was going to use the decals from the Revell kit, but I was able to get the Shyhart one at a good price (I had already gotten the paints from MRP before). If you don't have Shyhart decals, Revell decals are not that bad. I don't know BilModel's paintings. I'm curious to see the result 👍

In any case I'm sure you'll do a great job as always, 😉

Łukasz Gliński
I have to admit I'm surprised a lot, I thought they're the same 😮 Good to know, thx
I have only a single bottle of BilModel paint and yes that's the demo orange - seems to be a lacquer luckily (tested using various thinners), so it should work well, fingers crossed.

Cuajete
Perfect, Łukasz! 👌
No, it's not the same. I was looking for the review where I saw a comparison between both decals, but I can't find it.
I'm looking forward to seeing the result of that demo 🙂

A classic old and hard kit from Łukasz... I can't miss it!

Patryk S.
Following! Is this build an indication and warning of an incoming Czapla build?😜 Greetings!

Maciej Bellos
Oh, gotta see this one!

Moreno Baruffini
Oh wow! Following!

Mr D
Nice 👍👍

Nicolas
Count me in as well.

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome everyone, glad to have you on board.
@Patryk: LOL, it is waiting in the stash indeed, but I'd like to train some tricks on Łoś and RWDs 6&8 first 😄

Andrzej Rygiel
Insert "I was there 3000 years ago" meme 😄 I got this as a souvenir from our family trip to Poland back in the 80's and finished it in one afternoon sitting straight after our return. I do not doubt you are going to make much better PZL.37 replica than I did back then...

Alec K
Ahh, I have this thing somewhere, in glorious blue. Watching, of course.

Ben M
👀 just what I like

Mr D
Nice to do a vintage kit... takes you back.
I remember doing the Matchbox Electric lightning ⚡ with my dad as a boy..
Good luck with everything 👍👍

Robert Podkoński
Somehow I missed that... taking a seat, of course! (I kinda "built" this kit three or four times as a kid...)

Łukasz Gliński
Welcome everyone, glad to see y'all here 👍
Say hello to the crew members awaitng varnish and washing.
Alec, I'm very jealous, I have failed to locate the turquoise one 😄
Andy&Rob - I sort of built at least two, no more I could remember, one has been lost 'flying' (in my hand) somewhere over my parents garden 😄
Andy - you're welcome 😄

Hello!!!! 😊

Zbynek Honzik
I built this Łoś kit about 35-40 years ago.
These are memories...
Good luck with the build Łukasz! 🍀👍

Cuajete
First steps. Great!
