Classic Ford Escort rc

[jaffacake]

Looking for a bit of help here guys
Im a fan of the classic ford escorts mark 1 & 2 (1/1 scale),I am looking to buy an rc bodyshell that replicates the classic lines of the escort,preferebly the mk1,is there such a shell out there? has anyone had one painted they could post pics of?
If i were able to get hold of a shell & get it painted,maybe have the mexico decals made up etc it would be more of a shelf queen than anything else
I presume the shell would be 1/10th & sit on a touring car chassis?
Thanks in advance

You can get (at least could get) abs ones from mardave for the v12 chassis. I saw one at our club (srcc) once and it was a beauty - very scale looking.

I need to be contacting a few shell painters now then

Looks to be the same company 'retro racing' as on modelsport
Will this shell fit any touring car chassis?

[bpwain]

yes it should fit any 190mm touring chassis.

Here's mine that is a shell made by a company called somebodies, which has now sold the moulds to kamtec I believe.
The blue and white is painted, not stickers, all done by myself (pinstriping was a mare!), along with the LED headlights and spots.
