The Scubby Impreza is one of my favorite cars. (minus the 08 model) I'll keep a close eye on this one for sure. Don't take too long with the next update! ;)

Am I nuts, or does this model have wider wheel arches than stock?

energon

03-29-2008, 03:02 AM

It's the WRC kit, so yes it's fenders are flared even more than the stock car.

This is looking great, you're doing an excelent job on the carbon decal!

Here I was thinking that mine was a little on the extreme side. But what you're planning is even more so! If you can pull it off and it still looks good.... go for it! Based on what I've seen so far though, I don't have any doubts in your skills.

After 2 months break I finished a few important for me things and come back to work with Impreza (for longer I hope so :smile: ).

I planned at the beginning to make similar front to Cusco Racing Impreza so ...
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q289/19760622/impra/392_a.jpg
I start thinking
I in first order had to remove all that I marked on picture
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q289/19760622/impra/IMG_44631.jpg
but at back of the bumper there are elements which hold body with the chassis
http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q289/19760622/impra/IMG_48571.jpg
I had to made new elemnts

this post has been the BEST i have ever come across, step-by-step, concise and detailed. I'm aspiring to be a modeller like in modification sense, but all i achieve was just fixing up the model, painting it and just put a few decals to look like some JDM street machine.

Thank you for the detail work hope to learn more from you like using different material and stuff. I'm also looking forward to you putting the volks wheels onto the tamiya kit, i never knew how to do that.

My WIP isn't so good, so as my modeler's skills. At this forum are a lot of better WIPs from which I learn a lot of.
I like WIP step by step so I try do just the same.
Thanks again!

Small progress,
I cut bottom of front bumper and closed intake on sides of bumper

http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q289/19760622/impra/IMG_6666.jpg

and next I used tamiya's epoxy putty
