WRX STi Progress

Hi Guys

Been very busy at work so I was not able to update you on my WRX STi. It's the 1/24 Tamiya kit, as usual, not much drama putting it together. The only gripe I had was the chassis. What a pain to paint. :mad:

I wanted a Red car with an all black interior so I choose Tamiya's Mica Red.

Anyways, here are some pics.

The body, primed and ready for a coat of paint.

The infamous chasis.

I never had a taste for gold wheels, so they too were primed and ready for a coat of aluminium.

Couldn't resist putting it together just to see.

Since it's the end of the year, days like these are all to common. So, kit building will have to stop for a while.. at least till the weather clears up.

Hi guys

Thanks for the nice comments. Haven't got time to finish it. Went to the Singapore Motor Show over the weekend. :) I will post some pics later when I have the time.

Saw a couple of really nice WRXes at the Subaru booth. But there were just too many people there. Couln't get close enough to get a decent shot.

Hi dude

It is a Tamiya kit. Basically just the Tamiya WRX STi. The link to HLJ is here.

It's quite a good kit. Very easy to make except for the killer chasis.

Have fun. Make sure you post some of your pics.
