This is the Ford England Escort RS Cosworth #43 Hoonigan 3rd Rally Train Oregon 2018 Ken Block/Alessandro Gelsomino in 1:18 scale by Top Marques.

At the 2018 Oregon Trail Rally, Ken Block and co-driver Alex Gelsomino made a triumphant return to stage rallying after a three-year hiatus, piloting a 1991 Ford Escort RS Cosworth. Despite the car's age and facing modern competitors, the duo secured an impressive third-place overall finish. The rally wasn't without challenges; they contended with issues like a missing oil cap, wheel fitment problems, and a broken front suspension near the event's conclusion. Nevertheless, Block managed to launch the vintage "Cossie" 102 feet over a major jump, showcasing both driver skill and the car's enduring capabilities. This performance highlighted Block's passion for rallying and his ability to compete fiercely, even in a classic vehicle.

This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
