Deadlysub 56 Posted April 18, 2021 Having just completed my first build, I am on the lookout for my next purchase. This has turned into a double purchase as I’ve always wanted to build a lunchbox but I think I’m also going to preorder the Escort. Has anyone else got one on preorder? I have had a quick look to see if a thread has already been created and I couldn’t see one but mods feel free to delete if there is already one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truck Norris 2237 Posted April 19, 2021 It's the Escort WRC body, so identical to the 1998 TL-01 and 2004 TT-01 releases, just without the sponsor logos. It's not a new or changed mould for the body or wing. The only difference is there's no antenna hole in the roof. Technically it's not a Cosworth - the WRC was never branded as such, even though it was based on one. It was a stop gap for a couple of years to comply with WRC rules before the Focus WRC was ready. If you have a read up on Escort Cosworth vs WRC differences you can see the real cars the Tamiyas are based on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blista 1517 Posted April 19, 2021 Are they also releasing it as a body-set? I had a quick look and couldn't find any indication they will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No Slack 454 Posted April 20, 2021 The TA01 Tiger Stripe Cosworth is different to the later WRC. Of course the whale tale is a difference but more inportant the front of the car. The WRC has the oval grille while the Tiger Stripe has not. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
