1970 Ford Escort RS 1600 kit details

The kit uses a stripped 1970 Ford Escort RS 1600 Race Car casting that is ready for paint. It is designed to click together; adhesive may be used for extra hold. The item number is MUNDIDM14455S. Wheel style, interior color, and window color may vary, so review every current gallery image and the listing before ordering.

The product listing confirms the casting is prepared for custom paint and finishing work. It does not specify paint, tools, or replacement wheels as included. Check the live product page for current kit contents and availability, then plan the materials your own build will need.

Plan for matching 10 mm front and rear wheels

The listed factory wheel reference is 10 mm front and 10 mm rear. The same diameter is listed at both ends. Compare this reference with any replacement wheels you are considering, along with wheel width, axle length, inner spacing, and body clearance. The stated diameter does not guarantee every replacement will fit your specific casting.

Dry-fit parts before painting or final assembly. Check that each component seats properly and that the wheels turn without rubbing. The kit is designed to click together, and adhesive may be used for extra hold. Follow the directions and safety guidance for the paint and adhesive you choose for your project.

Review color variations before ordering

Wheel style, interior color, and window color may vary between examples. Review all current product photos and the listing details to understand the visible configuration. The listing is for the DIY kit shown, so plan to complete the paint and finishing work yourself. If one variation matters to your build, contact the shop to ask what is currently available.
