I've searched all over. Tamiya do a road version of the Evo 6 but not a road version of a scooby. Die cast or plastic I'm not bothered it would just be nice to have a small scale replica of my beloved scoob sat on the telly. My missus would really love that

Trofeu make both 2 door WRC and 4 door Group A (pre facelift) and Group N (facelift) rally going versions of the car.



I am sure I have seen the 4 door available in plain black. If not get the rally version and paint it yourself (although they are quite expensive). Try any Trofeu stockist.

Part numbers for the Autoart range of models, which are superb. Road cars only as requested.

Hasegawa made a 1/24th WRX kit, but it is looking really dated now, as it's based on something like a '94/5. 15" wheels etc.

I found a model shop in the TRAFFORD CENTRE
in manchester and they sell the 22b and the
rally version, not cheap at £50 each but look
pretty good.

I know that shop well. Cool init.

Any reputable model shop can get hold of the AutoArt model range. I bought the last WRC car in Manchester at christmass, that was quite a challenge to find at the time.

Hi,
There is a scale model of the 22b (i think) in blue which is made by the same company that makes the evo6 road car/TM rally and subaru Rally version
I have seen it in lots of maodel shops.
They are not made by Tamiya.

I've got an Autoart, burnsie replica, 1/18. They do a road going one aswell.

I can't recomend these models highly enough, they're absolutely superb I paid fifty quid for mine which at the time seemed a lot but after getting it home it's worth every penny!

I've got the Autoart 18th scale of Burnsie's tarmac spec scoob.
Even the seats and steering wheel have a realistic covering
Just needs a few dents and mud to finish it off

I am amazed that no-one makes a road model of the 5 door.

It looks so, so, so, much better than the common 4 door.

They could even sell a caravan, trailer tent, boat or horsebox to put on the back!!

Maybe, given the agricultural background of Subaru they could sell slaughterman cars, matches and cattle trucks??

Greenking, That is what I set out to find, a road going 4 door. The STI's above look good but a black one would have been nice. I could paint it but it's a lot of money to be messing around with

Hi Charlie,
I am sorry.
I thought you was looking for the road version of the rally one.
If you get any info on the 4 door pls let me know.
Regards
G.

Greenking, what you sorry for I'm just grateful that I've had so many replies I have seen a green 4 door on an American site last year (And red ,white), but as I didn't have a scooby then I didn't pay too much attention and it's really bugging me now

I've seen the Autoart site with promises of a B4 but have yet to see the final product.

Anyone out there in Europe stumble across one yet?

Cheers.
