In progress Fujimi C-West Impreza

Just a couple of pics of it in primer - no real problems with the fit of the resin pieces. Going to be mostly of the the box except of SAS seats & perhaps a Fujimi exhaust. Not sure what wheels to use but will be 18" as 19"s look a bit too big imo. Colour will be white (I know I've used grey primer but I find it easier to see any flaws with the grey - I'll give it a coat of white primer before the colour coat).

Nice start, Andy!:sunglasse I know it will be a showstopper;)

I think that will be cool!:sunglasse

Looks to be very promising, SWEET!!!!

Have you thought about opening up that front grill? Maybe putting in a nice FMIC in the front opening? Looks good so far, And knowing your work it will be amazing. :sunglasse

Nice!

Great start, the fitting looks good aswell, white sounds good on some 18's. keep em' coming

I did think about putting an intercooler on but the chassis plate fixes to the moulded in piece so decided against it (took the easy way out :naughty:)

gonna be a sweet build andy. lets see it finished!

cool. So, just white? No graphics?

thats nice. what kind of rims are those?

How much was that kit...?

Nice Wheel, I think that size looks perfect..

BTW are those pegasus wheels?

nice nice :pimp:

The fitment looks good, maybe need a bit of sanding at the rear (although i'm sure you'll do it).
More racing wheels would suit it better imo.

I'll probably just keep it simple amd go with plain white & the C-West Decals in the kit. (Basically being lazy as graphics are time consuming)

Yeah I took the picture before I'd got everything sanded - wheels were just thrown under the chassis to get some idea of how 18"s will look. I'm waiting on a couple of wheels sets from HJL so when they turn up I'll be able to make a final decision.
Thanks

The rims in the pic are from the Aoshima Jun Prelude - the Fujimi rims are similar but smaller !

Whats LHS ?

Last time i was in England, Modelzone (they're nationwide) had a wide range of Fujimi kits.................

Great work, Mike :sunglasse

I can't wait to see this on finished. I think I may have to add it to my order from hlj.

I know I said I wasn't going to put any graphics on it but I'd been experimenting with running some off on clear decal sheet on my inkjet printer when I was playing with designs for the Skyline. Had these spare as I ended up spraying the Skyline so I thought why not. Still haven't decided on the final rim choice as yet :uhoh:

Yeah white would look killer. Nice graphics andy!

That looks great! I like your decals.

must say that those graphics are very nice !
you did them by yourself ?

looks good!but i think darker spokes would be better, just my :2cents:

the graphics look nice on the car. keep up the good work

The graphics look realy nice ! And if i would be you andy i would go on with the Work Meister SSII they realy look killer !!:evillol:

The car simply looks great ! :sunglasse:eek:

Have you got some plans for the Hood and Back ? like carbone for the hood or muffer at the back ??:eek:

Man that is looking great!! The white wheels would look awesome!

dang...dats tite. IMO the work meisters look perfect as is! nice work!

After seeing your brilliant work on this I am forced to rethink the purchase of this kit dispite it's expensive price. I like the way this is coming out alot. Great job so far!

Why not something like this?
