Update 1 | 10.10.2025
It's time to present another 1/24 scale project - the Ford Sierra Cosworth 4x4, driven by the M. Biasion / T. Siviero crew in the 1992 Portugal Rally. The Ford model by D.Modelkits is the first of two debut products from this brand.
Here's an in-box:
The level of detail and the overall quality of the product look very good. However, this doesn’t change the fact that a few aspects could be improved - here’s the first selection of SCO parts and additional decals that I’ll be using in this project.
And finally, here’s the basic color palette for the Ford Sierra.
Update 2 | 26.10.2025
As usual, I start by test-fitting the parts.
Reshaping, measuring, drilling - I’m preparing the car body for the SCO parts: bolts, door locks, and hood pins.
I also decided to replace a few light bulbs, using pin heads instead.
Below is a list of paints and additional SCO parts I used:
• Wheels - painted with Tamiya white primer + TS-26
• Bolts - Hexagonal bolts (
SCO-R003) painted with TS-100 + Tamiya Panel Line Accent Color Black
• Tire valves - (
SCO-R002) painted with TS-29
• Air ducts cap for the front brakes mounting bolts - Rivets 0,7 mm (round head + washer) (
SCO-R067) painted with Humbrol 11 + Tamiya Panel Accent Color Gray
I ran a few extra tests to make sure all the parts of the Ford’s body fit together properly. Right now, the Sierra has been stripped down again and is waiting for a coat of primer, after which I’ll fix any small imperfections I might have missed.
Update 3 | 24.11.2025
The Ford was painted with a white primer. However, I’m not satisfied with some elements, so I need to make further modifications and reshaping.
After many, many hours spent reshaping the car body, I finally managed to paint it white.
Masking and painting the bumpers and the lower sections of the Sierra’s doors.
More masking, this time to paint the door trims and the rear spoiler.
The next stage of the build was applying the red and white stripe decals on the bumpers. Unfortunately, the model didn’t include the white stripes, so I used separately purchased decals instead.
The next step was to apply a thin layer of clear coat to the body and bumpers. The goal is to even out the painted surface and protect the decals already applied. The model is now ready for more decals.
