OK, problems overcome, and the Subaru is finally being pieced together!
I have taken a few shots, one of the interior, showing the little details such as hazards light switches, and the catching two tone interior, sprayed using an airbrush and Tamiya tape for masking. All straight forward, and you get a lovely etched surround for the gearstick gate!

And this is how I do my black lining!
First clean out the door gaps with the back of a scalpel, carefully! A very washy Tamiya gloss black is made, and using a thin brush, a large blob of the runny stuff is placed at the middle of a door shut, and immediatley you see it run up and down the door gap! Add more thinners if it stops, further down if you have to, then leave to dry! You get little marks where the brush was dabbed, and when dry, these are lightly polished of with cutting paste or polish!

 So for each car I get, I consider what color it would look best in, as well as what colors will set it apart from the rest.

Excellent! I have at this very moment just finished it!!!
 Here is the final result... I must admit, I enjoyed today, everything went smoothly and it was the fun bit, those final touches! The car is wearing a set of the latest British number plates! I don't fully understand them yet, but I know what you see is possible with the new layout! Colour? That was an easy one! For a start I have GT3 on the PS2, and this is the colour I thought suited the WRX best in that game! Plus I loved the pink STI stickers on the front lamp covers, as they are black if you go for a blue colour! It gives it that real 'Nintendo' look in pink! The chrome WRX sticker on the back was a lovely touch, I hope Tamiya include details like that in all their kits now! It also had a chrome gear lever gate, interior mirror and external mirrors. I did the model as the British WRX STI should appear next year, with clear windows all round (We don't go for this tinted rear quarter look!) and no rear wiper (Don't know why not, but just not!) I hope you enjoy the photos.

I'll try some 'Lau Bak' style outdoor photos once it is polished, as a few marks appear on the body in those photos!
I also have been taking some at 640 pixels, when better results come from reducing the size a little! Warren, I have blue WRC Impreza and my GTR Skyline is going to be a similar Electric blue, so I went for something different this time. Using a base coat metallic would help the light fitment problem, as the lights can be fitted before the lacquer stage. All said and done now, looking at the finished result, I really like it! I wouldn't say it was any easier, but maybe that was my insistance on spraying everything! Well done Tamiya!

i started this model alittle while ago, almost done. but i have a problem. I lost the left headlight. It gotta be some where in my room. i was working on itwhen I stabbed my self with my modeling knife (really bad) and I jumped up and i knocked it some where. What should i do if i dont find it? finish the model and keep that side up against the wall so you dont see it? Or just buy a new one and build that?

Try to find it
 Be systematic. Divide your room into sectors and search them one by one (use something to mark the sectors). Put little flags onto sectors you have already searched.
