Contact mckinstrys directly, they might have something. Their facebook page is quite active.

I cant remember if that car appeared much in the McKinstry dvd but can have a look if you like. I have the doorplate here from the fisher car

Is this the monaghan poltry car?

I had plans to do that car but after sending a number of emails to mckinstry with no reply I gave up

So I wouldn't count on any help from Kenny

guys i hate to be bearer of bad news but sometimes rally drivers just are not into models,even if it is of there past/present cars.
i contacted j j flemin and paddy white and the reponse was neither wanted a model of there present cars!

Why buy a model when you have the real thing parked up in your garage? Laughing

I find it's usually the codrivers who are into collecting models.

McKinstry's '82 car i think had KD cars on it. Monaghan Poultry was 1985, possibly Donegal & Ulster just

Billy what car are you looking photos of white with Monaghan Poultry or red with KD Cars?
The KD Cars car would be the easiest to do re decals and if you have a spare Clark Cossack MKll Wink

I had plans to do the Monaghan poultry car but 2 reasons that have stopped it firstly Kenny didn't reply to any of my requests for photos and more so that its so quiet sales wise at moment
