Ugly green Subaru: Finished!

So the last time I posted progress on this kit, no one seemed to agree with the color I chose. And to that, I say :flipa:! I like the color and that's all that matters. In case you were wondering, the kit is Fujimi's 1/24 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Version IV.

Oh, I guess some pics are in order here.

Looks great, man! I thought I'd be the first with a green scooby, but you beat me to it... :p Turned out really nice! :D

Looks really good! the scenery is top notch as usual. Green, red, and grey - who woulda think? :rolleyes: :finger:

j/k

ok, i finally get a chance to see this kit in real life..

1st of all, very nice job buddy :)

but for those who intend to built this kit next.. i suggest carving out the front mesh and replace it with real mesh, then cut out the emblem and glue that back on after.

the kit looks pretty decent, detail is not bad, wheels look decent sized for stock, but man, those headlights really suck... the hasegawa one had such much more realistic reflectors. check out the one I did in the gallery to compare.

but I bet the fujimi one is MUCH more builder friendly... hasegawa sucks..

I would be lying if I said I like the colour!!! STIs should never be army green!!:rolleyes:

Otherwise well done. Nice to see another finished kit!

Looks like a job well done on the build.
Must say i cant make up my mind on the green paint as this is the first time i have seen one in a green.

Great looking pics...and as Dan said....good to see another model finished

I'm not mad for the colour either dude but its gonna be sitting on your shelf, you like it and thats all that counts!
Looks like a quality clean build.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I see a couple people seem to like the green Scooby. Hey, at least I didn't paint it hot pink or pastel yellow...waitaminute, didn't Subaru call that "Blaze Yellow"?! I don't know if they released that color for the new age Impreza WRX outside the states, but over here, it was a "limited edition" or something and I think it looks terrible. I think they should have just gone with the standard yellow you see on Ferrari's, Porsches, and pretty much the only color I've seen ITR's in.

I'm not mad for the colour either...
It took me a while to figure out what you meant. At first, I thought you were saying that you weren't angry that I picked that color, but that didn't really make much sense. I assume that by you're not mad for it, you mean you don't like it. People don't use it that way where I live.

They had a yellow one here for sale and its a very pale looking colour......SHOCKING :bloated: :bloated: :bloated:

That's probably the color I was talking about. In fact, I just saw one today along with a blue one.

I saw around 50 of them today :D we had a big meet!

Was it that SCIC meet? I saw a bunch of pics on the i-club. I believe there's one of your car there.

yeh I spotted my car in a few pics, it was great seeing not only so many Subarus but all those fixed up VWs and BMWs and Audis too!

i think the kit came out pretty nice.....but i agree w/ pkw1 that the headlights could've been better.......of course, not your fault.....it's just that the tamiya rally wrc versions, the lights look a LOT better......but you built it very well......the color isn't all that bad either.......:D......

pretty good!!
