Subaru WRX STi **now with finished pics**

While I was waiting for the paint for my Skyline, I decided to start on my WRX. So far I've put 2 layers of primer on the body and assembled the interior and chassis. This is one of the simplest kits i've ever seen. everything is premolded and its a great kit for beginners. This model will be black.

Your knocking them out pretty quick....nice stuff.

In the instructions it says to do the chassis body colour and the seats in a flat blue. Did you miss that or its just your choice off colour for the interior ??

I don't have enough black spray to do the chassis black, and there is no way in hell i'm doing it by hand. so i just left that. as for the interior, i didn't have any flat blue and it take the hobby store ages to order it, so i just did a combo that i thought up in my head. turned out great i think.
I just put the first layer of paint on the body and i'll have pics later tonight.

WOW....Looks like i got flamed about the instructions !!!...lol

Looking good so far Mate:) :) ...keep it up

so far i have finished putting 3 payers of paint on the model and i will let that sit for about 2 weeks to cure. now i will work on assembling the little odds and ends like the head light cluster and the spoiler. this should turn out to be my best model yet! *knocks on wood*

After seeing what the window tinting looks like, i've decided not to do it on mine. i don't like how the look in the first place and it just looks odd on this model.

I have finally finished this model, turned out fantastic! here are some pics, this first one is a little photoshop thing i tried.
