Italeri 3655 - 1/24 Ford Escort RS1800 Mk. II: Retro Rally Build

The Ford Escort RS1800 Mk. II is a standout from 1970s rallying. Released in 1975, the Mk. II introduced a squarer visual theme while carrying over the reliable mechanics of the Mk. I. Varied body and engine options helped cement its popularity among drivers and fans.

In competition the RS1800 earned strong results, with Waldegard Bjorn and Thorszelius Hans taking second at Monte Carlo in 1979 and going on to the world championship. Italeri's kit recreates the detail and proportions for a satisfying static build that appeals to historic rally fans and kit bashers alike.
