Hopefully bel kits do the MK2. You can get a 3d printed trans kit based on the italeri MK2. It's the custom version with 4 spoke rs wheels
 
Looks a great kit.....Cars from my Yoof, Lol.....
I had a mk2 Escort 1300 as my first car, so have fond memories of that genre/era. 8-)
It was an old banger, engine eventually blew up down the Old Kent Road, my Brothers (both mechanics) stuck a Cortina engine it for me to fix it back up....

Yes it is the rally version has 2 rear brake calipers one for foot brake other for handbrake leading and trailing edge
 
Beautiful car ..... cars have no character or individuality these days ..... MK 111 cortina ..... yes please.

My first car was a mk v cortina. .... not pretty but it ran. . ...... a vinyl roof as well .... but i had to use a pair of pliers to pull the bonnet release cable as the handle had snapped.

£ 795.00 and I had to scrap it within the year ...

Good old fords.
