Ford Escort Mark II: Engine bay Part I

Got the Cosworth YB turbo motor (a lovely little aftermarket engine kit from USCP) shoehorned into the Escort Mark II chassis (a crappy ESCI-Italeri-Revell kit). The biggest squeezes were the transmission (a full 4WD rally box) and the radiators (water and an air-to-air intercooler). A few paint touchups are needed, then onwards to the interior. 
 
 

There's more underhood bits in the USCP kit, such as brake fluid reservoirs and radiator overflow bottles, but I'll need to do some work on the body first to make sure it all fits while allowing the hood to close. Stay tuned!
