Italeri 3655 - 1/24 Ford Escort RS1800 Mk. II: Classic Rally Replica

The Ford Escort RS1800 Mk. II captured the look and performance of 1970s rallying. Released in 1975, the Mk. II stepped up from the Mk. I with a boxier silhouette while keeping the dependable mechanical layout. The model range included several body and engine combinations for varied appeal.

Its motorsport record is notable: the RS1800 became a front-runner in rally competition. Drivers Waldegard Bjorn and Thorszelius Hans finished second at the 1979 Monte Carlo Rally before taking the championship title that year. Italeri reproduces that era with a kit aimed at enthusiasts who enjoy a careful build and display-ready result.
