Revell Subaru STI

I started this kit a while ago, but never finished it. My plans were to turn it into a weekend warrior. Cage, stripped doors, racing exhaust system, just something to test some building basics. Well here goes...
First the roll cage. I do need some input on this though. Am I missing any major bars? And how do you all build the gussets on the cages?




Thank you in advance and ill keep regular updates.

Re: Revell Subaru STI

Cage looks pretty good man. I'd "weld" in some triangles in some of the corners. That's about it. What do you mean by gussets?

That's what I thought the triangles were called.

Re: Revell Subaru STI

Lol alright then. So just chop up some styrene triangles to the same angles of the cage, then, glue.

D'oh! Of course lol. Sorry. Been having a banner weekend for missing obvious things.

I've never 100% trusted Revell's paint call outs:/
Interior is looking good man!

Re: Revell Subaru STI

Well...its pretty much done. Had to contact Revell about some replacement rims....not sure where I put them...so here's pics with no wheels. Fell free to comment. The paint didn't come out very well and all pics are from my cell phone.








Thanks for looking. Not too bad of a kit for my first Subaru. But I would really like to build a Tamiya rally spec subaru eventually.
