Well its finished at last.
Kit was sprayed in Tamiya Pure White and the rims with Tamiya Gold.
Kit is build straight from the box, the only extras being the rear bumper quarters and a bigger exhaust.
Lights and intercooler are all Bare Metal Foiled and mesh added to bumper.
Number plate mount removed from front to open the intake up
Kit was pretty straight forward to built...the only part that didn't fit to well was the front bumper which had to be sanded in places to fit correctly.
Enjoy.

Good Job, that looks awesome! I think the wing is overkill though but it still looks cool, nice job.

Very fine, as usual... :D

I vote that you go back to taking pics on your concrete steps. Those looked best, IMO. ;)

Personally i'm not a fan of the kit but cant fault your work. Dont like the wing on it very much. Looks like the glass doesnt fit properly with that kit? So are the bumper quarters from another kit?

I think the headlights need a black surround. And about those panel lines... :bloated:

Just my humble two cents worth, but that's really nit-picking. That's one fantastic looking model.

Good Job P-man (I'm running out of things to say, you make em too fast)!!:D

Is it just me, or the rear spolier is a different white than the body?

That wing:eek:

Who would have thought to add a bookshelf to the back of their car. It's just not right.


but yet again Pmans work is top notch

We need to have a contest sometime where we start building the same kit on X day and see who's gets the most done in the least amount of time!!

Nice work there, especially considering the kit's "Fujiminess". The glass fit and that rear "bookshelf" spoiler...in the two-car picture the blue STi looks like a real car, the T/K looks like a really nice model.

Tough crowd here too :sun:

Everyone's an art critic;)

I'm all for that. I'm real nit-picky w/ headlights and all. Pman, very nice work as usual. I'm truly envious of your skill. So, what's next?

:bandit:

Considering that you recently started a thread called 'Speed Building', I don't think I stand much of a chance. Speed building to me is 3-4 mos.

Thanks for your replys so far....just to answer a few questions.

Chris...The glass fits really well, must just be the angle the pic was taken. The quarters come with the kit but are not used for this model, but i thought it looked way better with them on.

Moss...Its just some tubing brought from the model shop and cut to length. About $5 for a metre....very good for exhaust tips.

Turbo86....the wing is the same colour as the rest of the car.

I'm not a fan of the rear wing either, but i wanted the car to look just the same as a real 1:1.....thats also the reason way the rims were left on the car.
IMO after looking at a few WRX's that are for sale in town here with those same rims....the size is very much the same.

Jay....maybe for the next kit!! :D

I've measured these rims and a few others with a caliper and they are to scale.

Thanks Chris...i thought they would have to be close to the real size.

Jay!
09-17-2002, 06:53 PM
And, in scale, how big are those wheels, really?

btb the rims are somewhat different from the real ones huh? the spokes(scale) are more rounder than flat. IMO
