Ken Block Ford Escort RS1800 in 1:18 scale
This is the 2008 #10 Ford Escort RS1800 Ken Block/A. Gelsomino in 1:18 scale by SunStar.
At the 2008 Colin McRae Forest Stages rally event in Scotland, Ken Block and co-driver Alessandro Gelsomino campaigned a #10 Ford Escort RS1800, a classic rear-wheel-drive rally machine beloved by enthusiasts for its agile handling and rich motorsport heritage. While the car didn’t fight for overall victory, Block and Gelsomino tackled the demanding forest stages with characteristic intensity, navigating narrow woodland tracks and tricky surfaces that rewarded precision and co-driver pace notes as much as outright speed — typical of classic tarmac rallying where rhythm and consistency are paramount. What sets this event apart from most circuit races is its point-to-point format through real terrain rather than laps on a track, making every meter unpredictable and every stage a unique challenge for driver and navigator alike — a format that helped shape Block’s rally career and rally-inspired driving style.
This exquisite diecast model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish.
Other features include:
● Extremely Detailed Engine
● Moveable and Steerable Front Wheels
● Accurate and highly detailed Interior and Chassis
● Opening Doors, Trunk, and Hood
