Does anyone know where i can buy a mini model of the ST, i've looked on loads of car model websites but can't find it on any of them?! I got my boyfriend a model of his Clio 182 from an italian sight and it's fab but now i want one of the ST!

Any ideas? Maybe they don't even make them i'm not sure....

i have never sen any sorry , when i wnet to wales WRC this year i was asking everywhere on all the stands and they said that they do not do one but they must somehwere i will have a look

Not sure that there is any about, I managed to get a model fiesta group n rally car resin kit from portugal but i have never seen another one for sale.

Edit:Closest i have got that looks any good is a jwrc scaletric car that i paint and added stripes too.

dont do a ST though

No where makes the Fiesta as i've already searched... I have always wanted a model of the Focus but this was not produced either... it's very frustrating... why the Clio 182 and not the Fiesta or Focus ???

It would have been pretty easy for them to make a Focus WRC model into the RS but they never did.

Its really a case of giving up and just accepting one won't ever be made.

ST model sadly don't existe don't no why really cos I'm sure lots of people would like one, maybe in many years time perharps?

Working on this at the moment




Still very much work in progress though. Once done will be avaliable in all colours. Just gotta get the template right first.

And these are the other models that i have got.


The bigger red and silver ones are jwrc cars that i painted, and the one in the middle is the group n fiesta that i never finished.

Sorry about quality of the pics but my camera has no batteries at the moment.

The red and silver Fiesta's look very good indeed..

they are great micky how did you make them , would not mind having ago myself

The JWRC ones?

Yeh Micky those models look really good!

Very easy to do. I did them in a day allowing for paint to dry.

First off you need to get the basic car.

Only found one on ebay at the moment.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SCX-Ford-Fiesta-Ra...7QQcmdZViewItem
Its a 1:32 scale scalextric car.
I have a spare one somewhere.

Next thing i done was to remove the body from the base, it's only a few screws. Also prise the rear light cluster off.

Then it gets a bit more difficult. You need to mask up the windows and all the areas that you don't want to paint. The grills i found easiest by cutting a piece of masking tape and using a knife poked it into the gap (will make sence when you have the model in fornt of you.)

Once the car is masked up time to paint. I wouldn't recommed doing this in your house as the smell stays for days.

Using paint you can get in halfords give the car 2-3 coats of primer.( this is so the origional paint scheme gets covered up and gives you a good base to paint onto.) Once this has dried, about an hour minimum for each coat spray 2-3 layers of the colour you want. Again leaveing an hour or so inbetween coats. Once this has dried give the car a coat of laqure. No essential but just give the car a little bit of extra shine and makes keeping it clean easier. Once this has set (I left it overnight) carefully peel off the masking tape. Next using some superglue stick the rear lights back on. Screw the body back onto the base and you have a finished car without stripes.

To do the stripes i used some A4 sticky labes. For white strips you just cut out to the size you want. For any other colour go into paint and make a big box the colour you want the stripes and print off.

I hope that makes sence. If not i can fish out my spare one and do a photo guide.

It works out quite expensive if you don't have any paint.

Model £28 inc p&p
Primer about £7
Paint about £7

£42 is alot for a model but then again they are one offs and not many people have them

Very rough prices as i haven't bought paint for a long time.
