Cool Finished Photos: Subaru Impreza Safari Rally 1998(lots of pics)
Hey everyone,
Here are some photos of my most recently completed kit, the Subaru Impreza Safari Rally 1998 from Tamiya.
I added photo etch belts and some C/F decals for a bit of added realism.






Hope you guys enjoy seeing what I have been doing......I look forward to hearing your comments, good or bad

Ray

Did you raise the suspension, or are they generally set that high for Safari?

Top notch work, love the CF snorkel

It does look raised. The safari rallies are generally the roughest courses and the 1:1 cars do sit a bit higher for those races.

Dan,
The suspension is straight from the box, I didn't modify it.
I can assure you they have some serious rocks on the Safari, not to mention water washes and all types of unthinkable terrain, the teams do lift the cars a lot to give them clearance.

Great work Ray. I especially like the screen guard up front and the carbon fiber on the air intake. Did you use white under the Mica Blue?

Nice looking work on this one Ray
It does sit high, but when you see the roads they race on you understand why
