Hi Guys,
Here are a few shots of Richard Burns' Impreza from the 1999 Tour de Corse. The model was actually built by my girlfriend - it was her second ever 1/24th model, so I reckon it is a fair effort. Some details are not right, eg the light pods, but hey, I couldn't convince her.....
Hope you like.

Why cant I find women that are into model making:confused: :(
She has done a fine job, that's 10 times better than my second model was.

Touche Fly! Luckily my wife has come to accept my 'little' obsession.
Nice build for a 2nd model!

Mighty fine build there Potsie's girlfriend! You must like Subarus, after the 1/43rd Potsie showed us a while ago.
At the recent Mebourne Expo there ware quite a lot of young girls winning awards for their models. Hopefully they will not lose the interest as they grow up.

wah, luv the interior, her efforts arent wasted for sure.
Damn good job!
I think I go take down my Subaru pics, pale in comparison to yours hehe
But I do notice some differences. Guess it must be mine is WRC2001 Rally of Great Britain.
Looking forward to seeing more of your gf's and your projects.

Second 1/24 model? :eek: If she continues to develop her skills she'll probably wipe out all the competition at AF2003 modeling contest:)
One small thing I noticed though: I think it would look better if she'd paint the 'hole' at the tip of the exhaust pipe black (now it looks like it's solid) or drill it open.

Nice model.
Are the light pods a valid option on the '99 version, because they aren't pictured on the box?
