Ford Escort RS Cosworth

This was a disappointing project. I have old decals that crack and dissolve. I don’t have the Microscale Liquid Decal Film to apply at the moment, then I try a regular acrylic water-based varnish, and it doesn’t work either.
Well, the album shows the bad results. But it was funny anyway.
This version is the 1994 Monte Carlo rally winner.
