Subaru 2002 WRC GB *pics intensive*

Excellent job man! Everything looks great. The only thing I don't like are those rims. IMO they look so damn ugly! Do the trim around the windows and it'll be perfect. great job!

Hi,

Model looks great! Only the rims....

Try to mask windows and body with masking tape and use paint marker instead spray or brush painting.
You can remove wax with alcohol on Q-tip. It's safe for model and paint.

Take care,

Arek

Thanks for the info, question: will the masking tape tear off the decals?

Hi again,

If your model is clearcoated, masking tape won't take the decals off.
I would not try to mask decaled body. Masking tape is the best for decals removing. ;o)

For windows decals. I never clearcoated windows. Normally it's not neccesary and doesn't look good. So, if you want to mask window decals, you should be careful. In that case I would use piece of paper to cover decals.
If you ruin your window decals, let me know. You can have mine - I will not use them on my Impreza.

Thanks for offer bro, but I'm still not sure if I'm painting it. Depends on my GF, its going to be a challenge for her.

Hi,

Try this link before you finally decide not to make rims. It's not as hard as it seems.

Talk about picture intensive! I like the way the driver is looking at the navigator saying to him....WTF? It also looks like he is reading the pace notes just to make sure that the navigator can read them properly. Looks really good, besides those rims, but I suppose they are purpose built rims, correct me if i'm wrong but those rims don't clog with mud, snow etc. Like the Volvo ACC Concept. What kit is that? My friend bought the Tamiya great britain rally version but it is a tarmac one, it also doesn't have the driver figures and the headphones in it

Its the Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 Rally of Great Britain, Sorry for the wrong info on the 2002 WRC GB....Its the only kit with the auxiliary lamps, I think.
