Product details

Description

Model collectors with an eye for a bargain will appreciate this Ford Escort GL diecast model car produced in 1:43 scale. Modelled on a LHD 1988 Argentinian car with white bodywork complemented by a black interior, it measures approximately 10cm in length and is pre-built, ready to be displayed either on or off of the plinth included.

Constructed with a die-cast metal body, this Ford model car includes plastic parts for several components including the rear wings, lights, mirrors, and interior. Decals and pad printing of realistic badges and markings complete the look of this credible family saloon model.

We consider that this scale model car is great value with detail and finish more akin to that found on more expensive branded models, and is perfect for savvy adult model car collectors either just starting out or growing their collection for minimal cost.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a new unbranded Partwork (ex. magazine) model that was produced on behalf of a publisher by a major manufacturer or a subsidiary company, although not necessarily to their usual standards; it may have slight paint blemishes, decals and printing may not be perfect and the castings and tooling used may not be quite as precise as more recent releases. This model is supplied on a plinth within a card backed blister which could have dents, scuffs and light scratches.

  • Accurate body profile
