MCG's 1:18 Ford Orion Mk2 RS Package in Black reproduces the sportier end of Ford's Escort-based saloon range from 1986, dressed with body styling and trim that set it apart from standard Orion specifications. Cast as a sealed diecast body with fixed panels, it captures a genuinely underrepresented performance saloon subject.
About the Ford Orion Mk2 RS Package Black MCG 1:18
TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 Ford Orion Mk2 RS Package in Black reproduces the sportier trim variant of this Escort-based saloon from 1986, a subject most diecast ranges have overlooked entirely. Cast as a sealed diecast body, it holds the RS Package's styling details with tight, continuous shut lines throughout.
An Orion with sporting pretensions sounds like a contradiction, since the badge is remembered for practicality over performance, but the RS Package trim proves the range stretched further than its reputation suggests. MCG's black diecast reproduces that lesser-known corner of the lineup.
The RS Package Within the Orion Range
A Sportier Take on a Practical Saloon
The Orion Mk2's RS Package trim brought sharper styling cues and a more purposeful specification to a saloon otherwise built around executive comfort and everyday practicality, sitting distinctly apart from the badge's more common 1600E and mid-range trims. Ford applied similar sporting nomenclature across several ranges during this period, and the Orion's version gave buyers a genuine alternative to the hatchback-only sporting Escorts that typically dominated attention.
A Genuinely Underrepresented Subject
Mainstream diecast manufacturers have historically concentrated on the Escort RS variants that carried Ford's sporting reputation through the 1980s, leaving the Orion's own sportier trims largely unreproduced despite genuine period interest. MCG's decision to cover this specification fills a real gap for collectors who followed the full breadth of Ford's saloon range rather than only its most celebrated hatchbacks.
Black Paint and Sealed Diecast Build
This casting has no opening panels, its doors, bonnet and boot moulded into a single zinc alloy shell, holding the RS Package's sharper body detailing as clean, continuous shut lines. Black is an unforgiving colour for any diecast body, since panel inconsistencies show immediately under direct light, and this casting maintains a consistent, deep gloss across the bonnet and doors, letting the RS Package's distinguishing trim pieces read clearly against the dark body colour rather than disappearing into it.
Completing an Orion Trim Collection
At roughly 24 centimetres, this model fits a standard 1:18 shelf row and delivers the most visual interest of the three Orion trims MCG has reproduced, its sportier detailing setting it apart clearly from the 1600E and 1.6i alongside it. For collectors assembling the full Orion Mk2 trim spectrum, this RS Package piece is the natural closing entry, the version that shows how far Ford pushed a fundamentally practical saloon toward genuine sporting intent.
