I've never seen those 7 spoke wheels in any kit or made by any after market supplier though..?? Any ideas..?? What I'm trying to do is build the Rothmans car in tarmac specs either from the Manx International or Rac Rally...

Hi Steve,
you're welcome ! Always happy to help other rally fans.
as stated by O'Ranki yes those 7 spokes wheels are the first tarmac wheels Subaru used on the early years of the Legacy, before using 6 spokes (or even 5 as in 93 corsica ?? even didn't even noticed it before...) on the Impreza.
What I still haven't done is taking a look at my videos especially those from the Rothmans livery, to see what they used on the tarmac opening stages of the Rac rally.
most of my legacy kits are 1/43, I should verify which wheels are in.
I'll make Ari's Legacy, both from 91 & 92 RAC Rally, 92 1000 lakes and probably 93 Sweden but all at 1/43, will only build one or two at 1/24, still not decided which one(s), as I have the Rothamns decals too to eventually convert the 555 Hasegawa model I have...
Colin's legacy would of course interest me a lot !! I have diecast bases and decals...
Have to sort out everything to decide...

Then a question also. The blue is the same as used on the gr.A Imprezas I guess but the Colin's Corsica car looks different. Is it really different blue or is it just the photos or even my eyes?  |
Thanks for this pic, I didn't have it !
From what I know the blue color is the 555 color even when 555 sponsor is missing as in Corsica...
Those pics from Corsica are old paper pics scanned and probably retouched a bit... I found them on the net in the Corsica rally thread of a french forum.
Talking about Legacy, do someone have some pics about the Camel one driven by Eklund in 93 Sweden rally ??
I can't find some...
