Subaru Impreza Rally Car.
Posted by PatW on Sunday, March 3, 2019 8:21 AM

Set up as a National Rally contender taking into consideration it's age, but still using the factory decals.

 

The front end paintwork had to be replaced 3 times due to constant heavy orange-peel and therefore cleaning off and re-applying. In the final application, automotive primer was used to solve the problem. The rest of the body was unaffected and of high gloss finish throughout!

The kit being quite old but the Airfix decal sheet and the lay-up onto the body were first class in their finish!

Looks good Patw.

I really like that car.  I bet it'd be a blast to tear up some dirt roads with it. 

Nice work

Hi,

Your build turned out great.  I really enjoy seeing your builds.  You seem to pick a lot of topics that you don't see everyday here Smile
