Subaru Impreza 555 Rally Catalunya 1995
Hello everyone:
Finally finished this one up during the Easter holiday. For this build, I used the Renaissance tarmac transkit and 1995 Rally Catalunya decal sets, plus some of the decals from Shunko models. The transkit isn’t too difficult to work with, as I only made some small adjustments (such as bending the suspension arms) and the transkit parts fit into place nicely. Highly recommended for those interested in building a tarmac-spec Impreza. WIP thread can be found here. Under natural light. Doesn’t really show the purplish hue of the color too well IMO. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Under desktop light, which I think shows the true color much better. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Comments and criticisms are always welcomed! Happy Easter everyone! Cheers,

Re: Subaru Impreza 555 Rally Catalunya 1995
You made a fantastic job of that model, it looks great..!!! I have been inspired by your build enough so to purchase the tarmac trans kit and decals myself. So I'll be having a go at it in the near future...
Thanks for posting yours, it was a real pleasure to see it come together. So what do you plan to build next..??

Re: Subaru Impreza 555 Rally Catalunya 1995
Excellent result. The Renaissance transkit gives a nice tarmac-stance to the model. Congrats.

Re: Subaru Impreza 555 Rally Catalunya 1995
Thank you for the comments guys!
stevenoble: This transkit is much easier to work with than Renaissance's older transkits, and really looks the part. My next project is the Hasegawa / Tamiya Evo IV posted earlier as I stopped working on that to finish up the Impreza. Still a long way to go ![]() Vladamor: Hey how are you doing? Yeah it's finally done. Oh btw beware of the suspension parts of the transkit when you work on it as they can be fragile ![]() potsie: Yup the transkit really gives the model the appropriate stance without much modifications! Cheers,

Re: Subaru Impreza 555 Rally Catalunya 1995
Hi there!
Hey good advice, but I'm afraid that the kit and the transkit are nearly impossible to find nowadays... But maybe a lucky day... I hope that the pics of the magazine helps you for your next build, and I'm shaking to take a look, he he... GREETINGS |

Re: Subaru Impreza 555 Rally Catalunya 1995
Even if this is a bit too thickly clear coated to my taste (making decals edges more visible) this is a great looking car and build, a great addition in any rally collection !!
Nice to see a tarmac specification Impreza Gr.A

The Hasegawa kit pops up fairly regularly on eBay and as far as I am aware the Renaissance transkit is still available as well...
