Completed: Tamiya Impreza WRX/WRC

I made this model with the left over pieces from my Possum Bourne Group N build - notably the WRC body and STi interior/chassis. I did not spend a great deal of time getting the body fitment spot on - this was more an exercise in painting techniques for myself. Paint is Tamiya light gun metal and orange. Interior is a gloss orange / flat yellow mix. Wheels are Fujimi Veilside Andrew Racing Dish. A few decals to give it the 'custom' look :uhoh:

Not sure the interior orange matches the exterior orange...it certainly is an interesting build though!

Awsome suby!! What dash did you use? Keep up the great work!

Nice work!!!

Very nice car and a good paintjob, I like the orange paint on the body.
One thing, when you lower the car it looks even better I think.

I don't really like the color combo, but it's a clean car over all! Nice job!

Hi guys - thanks for the feedback. I suppose that this build really suffers from a lack of effort on my part - it was really a case of 'well, I have some spare bits, let's try something different'. I should have spent more time lowering the car properly - at them moment the shell sits on the top of the suspension mounts.

Blubaja - the dash is the leftover from the rally build I did earlier. I used the RHD STi dash for the Gp N rally car, so I had the LHD rally dash spare. Only had to cut off the lower section with all the switches, otherwise it fit fine. Anyway, I though it would fit with the 'California Custom' look of the car - whatever that is :iceslolan

Cheers,
Grant.

Great work and colors Grant!
