Subaru Impreza WRX STi GDB in Blue















At long last I'm back in the mood to build again

Going to be mostly OOB maybe add a few decals and change the wheels, not sure yet.

Clear coat has not been polished yet, need to wait till tomorrow.

Re: Subaru Impreza WRX STi GDB in Blue





Polished it out today, started with various grades of Micromesh, then move on to Compound, This was the first time using Finishers Compound which I picked up in their shop in Tokyo earlier this year, very impressed. Finally Polished with Tamiya Wax, as that's the only wax I have at the moment.

Overall I feel it is one, if not the best paint job I have ever done.

Tha paint is Subaru paint mixed and supplied by ModelColourWorx over 2 coats of Halfords Grey primer, then Clear Coated with MCW 2 pack system with a bit of Rocket added to speed up the curing time.
Primer and base coat on Wed
Clear coated on Thursday
Ploished out on Friday.

Kit should be finished by Saturday night as we have holidays now..
