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?

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

very true!!! 
i have sold/built quite a few models for co-drivers.

paul, I get what you're saying m8, totally understandable if you have the real thing....just found it hard to find pix of any of kennys escorts on-line and wondered if maybe he would have some pix that I could get a copy of...

cheers for all input lads...

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

Was talking to a fella a few weeks back who has a McKinstry car in 1/18. Didnt ask what event it was from but id say its a once off. Never knew anyone had made one

The reg no on that Kenny car DMB 857X was a works car....driven by Roger Clarke on the RAC Rally in 1981...ie the previous year ..... what your looking at BMD......when Clakre drove it ,it was an orange/red ish colour..(genuine Ford colour of the time)..sponsored by " Quicks for Ford" and built by M.C.D. Services....how do I know ??????   CD models made this model...(a beauty)...CD 004......    and I have it.....In Kennys hands I THINK the car was white.....STOP...STOP....STOP..... NEW INFO...... Kenny McKinstry/ John McGaffin competed in the Belfast Telegraph Ulster Rally 1982 in a RED Mk2 Escort  door number 16....as another person wrote.............. it had" KD Kars of Gilford" on it Also had   " Graham Contracts Dromore"  plus "Bobby Campbell Motors"... The reg.no of this car was HIJ 980.......how do I know this???????????  Xav made a model of this car...(another beauty)   and I have that TOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!....now I don't think I can do anymore for you...

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

donie thats class m8 thanks!!!
col, yep m8 I have a spare red cossack car here, already stripped and ready for decals!!

so where do I get them?   

Ah, that would be the '82 Ulster Rally then, I have an idea  
Give me a day or two

oh now i'm all excited!!!    (yeah ok so its been a while since I was excited!!   )

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

Can a base model be got with the bigger rear arches?

currently in 1:18..no m8......how are you with milliput and plasticard??
