In progress: Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRX STI

[jberry3]

This is my second kit and I am really plaesed with it so far. I am going to paint it silver and was thinking about doing a carbon fibre effect bonnet and SAS rear wing but only if funds allow and if i think my skills are up to the job. See what you think so far. Remember this is my second kit and also the pics dont do the model justice. Ill try to get some better pics.

Looks good. I agree with you. This is a great kit. It was my first Tamiya that I built, and I was very happy with it.
Keep us posted.

cool!! looks really good

the last pic of the bottom looks funny! the gloss black on the front of the car looks like some kind of cosmic goo lol.

Nice kit. I Need to buy it someday too May I suggest some better looking and also bigger rims and a little lowering... Would do good to the car. If you apply a CF hood you got the skills to lower the car as well

I agree, this is one of my first kits which I did too, I had mine in black.. it is a really clean fitting kit, open to lots of mods.. keep us posted :-)

Looks good, just a thought, but an all CF WRX would kick ass.

not to jack or anything, but Mike, I've seen a full body CF wrx. I have pics of it if you want I can pm them to you.


Great choice on a great kit. I think the car will look great in silver. You hardly see any silver ones on the road (in my area). I think the SAS wing, CF hood, and a set of new wheels would look better and flow more together with the performance look of the WRX. Only bad thing is no motor Good luck with your build.

Update on my impreza ive painted it silver as i said i would but no clear coat yet. Ive also done a mock up of how roughly the SAS gt wing will look on it done in Adobe Photoshop. I also found some old wheels from a tamiya castrol mugen accord kit from years ago which ive painted black and may convert to female to fit to the impreza cant decide at the moment.

i think the sas wing would look awesome

[Bas Carwash]

That wing will look awesome and I defnitely want to see those rime on that car!!!

[ImolaEK]

I like the wing and the stock rims on it. A little lowering will do.
