Ford Escort RS 1600 GR2 - Coupes de Spa 1971 - Reference pics

The resin body has been cleaned up and the parts which were cast in one piece have been cut off (door handles, tail lights, front radiator and headlights,...) 

I also made the rear fender wider and lower, and I drilled out a hole for the fuel cap. 

The simple interior received a safety roll cage and a hand brake. The rear seat was there in the real car as well! 

Then I sprayed the body yellow and I did a dry fit of the interior. Later on the car will be partially sprayed BP green. 

Once the yellow paint dried, I masked the car with BMF and Maskol. 

Next I sprayed the green areas. 

As soon as the green paint was dry, I removed the masks and I polished the model to get rid of the glue marks. 

Next I fixed the decals in place. Most of them were designed on my computer and printed by a friend of mine. 

Once the decals were in place, I clearcoated the whole body. 

After a week the clearcoat is dry. Next I finish the simple interior and I fix it to the body, together with the wheels. 

I paint the window frames flat black. 

I added some radiator-like decals to the rear of the Ford. 

Now the time has come to add the finishing touch details.
