If anyone stumbles across this kit whilst perusing any online model stores, please let me know.

I know Legends Hobbies have one

I have one and I would let it go but my mother drives the exact same car only hers is red and I'm gonna build a replica of it. I will search for one and get it for you if I find it though

I searched for 2 years for it and found it almost by accident but I know they're out there!

Chris,
I have seen them on occasion on EBay, if that is any help.
I am looking for the rally edition myself, but I have watched them go up to $50+ on Ebay and I refuse to chase them that high.
I will do some searching for you, there is a hobby store I go to once a month, they have so many kits(one aisle about 20m long of JUST Tamiya kits) I find something new and different everytime I go there, if I find one there I will pick it up for you.

Are you planning something adventurous for the kit Chris?

Y'know, I'm half expecting Jose Maria to show up with one of these..

Not at all. just want to build it box stock coz i quite fancy qwning a real one. I really like this car, saw it at a few rallies in the early 90's and see one from time to time on the road - love the sound of that flat 4! It has to be one of Subaru's most under rated cars.

There is the rally version on ebay at the moment http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1774131499
I cant be bothered trying to outbid people on ebay and like you i refuse to pay too much. Its far more exciting trying to find one yourself!

That a pennsylvania store? What store might that be?

Chris, I might try putting in "Hasegawa Subaru Legacy" into Google.com and see what you get. Keep on going through the pages until you see something promising - that's how I got my Mazda 787B, found a store on the 8th page or so with plenty in stock.

Daggerlee,
Trains & Lanes up on Route 33 near Allentown, it's pretty much behind Nazereth Speedway where IRL races.
They have a huge amount of models and R/C stuff.
I go there everytime I go to the 'outlaws' who live in the Allentown area, it's the only benefit of that visit.

I'll let you know how my order goes, I'm expecting the F355 to be out of stock for sure. We'll see!?

So you brought a Focus then Ray? I can tell you dream of being a rally driver

Imp, now a Focus too.

tonioseven · #12 10-08-2002, 01:40 PM

That hobby shop had two of my holy Grails!!!!! Both Tamiya M-B 600s

I have ordered them and hopefully they will be in stock!!! Congrats on the Subaru find, the model is quite decent!! The real car is great; so great I never get to drive my mother's!! Or so she thinks!!

If you find one, get it and make sure you pay attention to the front axles and transmission fluid!

flyonthewall · #13 10-08-2002, 02:04 PM

I'm starting to get suspicious. Have you noticed that none of the recent releases from any of the main manufacturers are listed? I did!...After I placed my order

So i sent an email to check if they are still in business and my email was returned as 'User Unknown'

Whoa!! Whoa!! Just when I was thinking of getting a Cobra R Mustang!!! Looks like you have to go searching again FOTW.
