The Subaru can turn!

Excellent mold, turnable frontwheel but the decal job is a hard one! It's too weak and soft. If anyone going to build this kit, be careful to the "bare" decal. They will shrink and fold!

As usual Lau gets in there early with the best kits!

My model shop only just got the 'Original Teile' and 'Warsteiner' CLKs in!

You going for Box Stock on that one Lau?

i'm guessing it means did you build it exactly like the directions say, or did you modify it at all...

I see. I usually call this "out of the box" or "OOB"
There is no way I can modify, how perfect is the car!
The only things I can add are photo etching parts and selt belts...what else!

Nice! HK gets everything so quick. Like Guiddy, I only saw the new DTM kits this last week. :hehe:

What's the name of the race on the hood? (Which rally?)

Off-Topic: Ever plan to make another diorama? You other one is awesome!!!

for some reason, I still can't accept the new impreza, I still like the old one much better... I can't stand the 2 round headlights and the slanted tail lights..

Just wait 'til you drive one. It's worth it.

It's Monte Carlo one. Also the Focus 01 had arrived too but I really hate this car for some other reasons.

Diorama is a gd idea. but for the real 01 MC rally the SWRT didn't use this wheels. They used snow setting.

Lau

What colour paint did you use? Was it a Tamiya colour?

It looks awesome, I am waiting for the kit to come over here to go with the Peugeot that I bought yesterday, and the Airfix Citroen Xsara that I already have. Will get the Focus when it arrives, who will be first to bring out a rally version of the Mitsubishi Evo VII??

Steve

I use Modeler's "Monte Carlo Blue"
It's specially design for the Subaru colour.

You probably wouldn't be that bothered if you saw how simple the kit was!
