Tamiya Impreza WRC '99

Hello guys!

After 3 years of work (sure with long interruptions..) I've finished this car.
I really enjoyed the build, the final result is not 100%, but I like how the car looks, and hope you too.

And the most important: Thank you very-very much for the big help of Sosofast (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=709548), who sent me new lens, because I broke it accidentally

At first, some wip pictures:

Merry Christmas for everybody! :grinno:

Very nice! I love how you remade those electrical boxes, your connectors look a thousand times better than the ones cast with the floorboard.

Nice authentic GC WRC! Great work on the seat belt and interior work!

Very nice Subaru!

The interior looks great.

Lovely job, looks great..!!

Love the car, love your model. Nice work!

Looks very good... Glad to help you out..always liked this car

Congrats, you really nailed the look, worth every minute you spent on it :-)

Thanks for all comments guys, I'm very pleased :)

Amazing Job! Clear build! Congratulations!

Superb model !! :thumbsup:
I like your work on the electrical boxes and connectors on rear panel.
Hood fasteners seem a bit oversized, are they supposed to be 1/24 ?

Thank you Rallymaster!

Yes, sure for 1/24 size.
They are from the SMS etched set for this car:

Thanks for your answer.
SMS has probably seen a bit too big... :lol: In fact it's the ring itself that seems too big to me.

Any news of your 205 PP project ?

Yeah, maybe they oversized it a little bit :eek7:

Unfortunately there is nothing new with the 205PP project, I did not touch it since long months :shakehead Of course I really want to finish it once , only more time and perseverance are needed for it..

Yeah I know what you mean, I work 80 hours per week so I know what it is to try to find time, energy, motivation... :frown:
