1:24 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth Transkit for Tamiya kits

Ford Sierra RS Cosworth - a transkit (1:24, Mf zone)

This is a resin transkit from Mf zone in 1:24 scale for a model of the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth. A transkit is a more extensive set of parts for rebuilding a plastic model; it is not a standalone kit but an accessory which changes and supplements the parts of the base model into the required competition form.

The real subject

The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was one of the iconic competition and circuit cars of the late 1980s. The rear-wheel-drive car with the forced-induction Cosworth YB engine made its mark in Group A and became famous for its pronounced rear wing and its sharp character.

Usage tips

First wash the mold release residue off the resin parts, cut the casting blocks off carefully and sand the surfaces down (with respiratory protection). It is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Because this is a more extensive rebuild, count on fitting the parts and apply a primer before painting.

Who it is for

• For modelers who want to build a competition Sierra Cosworth from the base model
• For more experienced builders used to resin transkits
• As a more complex accessory for raising the fidelity of the car

This is a resin transkit for a plastic kit, not a standalone model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
