Finished: Norisbank Impreza WRC

A few shots of the Norisbank sponsored Impreza WRC from the 1999 Rally Deutschland. I finished this kit a while ago. Quite an interesting kit to build. The actual car ran the year before in a white livery, and the exterior only was sprayed orange. Thus, I painted the insides of the shell, and all interior, white and the exterior orange - painting the shell two different colours is annoying. The transfer kit was from Studio 27, sourced from John Lancaster and Grand Prix Miniatures:

The decals had a few issues around the curve of the car, particularly at the rear, and the blue is not quite the right shade - but other than that they a good.

Enjoy....

Some beautiul work! I think I kinda like it without the decals but it looks good with decals as well! Great job on the paint. :)

That's one of my favourate Impreza liveries:)

You have done a fantastic job!

Absolutely fantastic looking build there.

Absolutely Awesome!!!:ylsuper

You have done an absolutely awesome job on a livery we don't see often enough!
Thank you for tackling this paint scheme, you have definitely done it justice!

Not so much to my tastes but great job.

great detail great car

ahh the power of decals..to ruin a car

Stunning livery, very impressive.

One question, how did you paint the window and roof rubbers? They look a bit rough, like they were freehanded with a brush - may just be the photograph. Try making and spraying with an airbrush, then touching up with a Gundam style permanent marker, will make a world of differrence.

Again very pretty model!

Looks like John finally updated his webpage :D Well half updated.

damn... looks good!

i give it 3 thumbs up

i like the kit without the decals..
but overall a very nice JOB!!!
