...A Subaru Impreza WRX Type R STi Version VI coupe






I got this of that wonderful auction site we all know and love. I ordered it on Wednesday evening and it arrived this morning from HK.

It is my very first plastic model kit, so I am going to take my time building it. I may ask my dad to help me as he has made plastic and metal airplane kits before.

I have one slight problem, what colour to paint the body. The kit says Dark Blue - Deep Blue Mica - But I am thinking RB5 Grey or as near as or White

 

Cool, what scale is it?

 

The scale is 1/24

 

Thats ace I got a version 5 to match mine. I sprayed my shell with the correct colour car paint by airbrush. haha OCD

 

I am going to paint it RB5 grey I have decided. Apparently Halfords car spray paint works great on these if you are after a true to life colour match.

 

Nice ...Ill look forward to seeing the build in the projects section...

 

...now theres an idea

 

I got a lil' car in RB5 Grey too... i'll post a pic here 2moz

 

ok.. here she is... needs to go back in the bodyshop tho... bunch of cowbys!

 

I did 1 before Xmas of a 22B.

Wish I'd taken my time though, could have been better



Sorry about the rubbish quality pic

 

Good effort there.

I like the 22B there. I am going to take real time with mine. Today I went to Halfords and got them to make me up some RB5 Blue Steel 86F paint in a spray can.

 

Was hoping it would be 1/32 so will fit on my scalextric. 1/24 slot cars are common though on wooden tracks.

1/32 #59 '95 NIssan Skyline R33 GTR ARII #47064 on eBay, also, Models, Model Kits, Toys Games (end time 23-Apr-09 04:43:32 BST)

These make good slot cars.

 

Go on then, here's some of mine, complete with dust




Post some pics up once you've got yours finished mate

 

how long does it take to turn into a real car?

... my G/F painted mine with a 86F Touch Up Pen hehe

 

Years mate, years!!!

My wife didn't want to help, she said 'bless' and thought I was daft.

 

Great black Version 4 Type R you have made there. I will take some pics of her finished. I have premiered the parts ready for colour and 86F

 

Great stuff mate, look forward to the finished model.

Mines a v5

 

Have a look here 1 24 Subaru Impreza model kit, Toys Games, Fujimi, Tamiya items at low prices on eBay.co.uk

My model make is Fujimi.

 

Steve where did you buy the Version 5 model from?

 

Fleabay, where else!!

 

I have nearly finished the model, just need to apply the water decals to the body. I will post up pictures when completely finished.

 

Awesome. Just bought a hawkeye one!

 

As promised the pictures of my version 6 type r in 86F

As it is my first ever plastic model, I think I have done a rather good job at building it. I thoroughly enjoyed making the model, being in your own world in the piece and quiet making a scale replica of a car you just adore or maybe it was the paint making me like modeling Alas, without further a do, the pictures.







I want to do another Impreza, but which model/version?

 

Oooh ... thats really cool... well done there!

just keep watering it and it'll grow in time for scoobysprint!

....another impreza?... do an EVO 6 maybe hehe

 

Front needs lowering

 

I don't like Evos as much and besides, buying one would go against my nature (username).


Don't all impreza's need lowering

 

Looks like u forgot to put the engine in

 

Or put it in the back
Good job though
