Subaru Impreza WRC Safari '98 and rally crew.

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Well I haven't posted any completed builds in a while as I've been working on this beauty.

I used Tamiya TS 50 Mica Blue for the main body colour, inside the seatbelts are full 6 point harness's with PE buckles.

The pit crew is the Tamiya set and the weathering is MIG African Earth pigments.[ATTACH]73700.IPB[/ATTACH]

Comments welcomed as always, just noticed the windscreen wipers are not fitted in these pictures but are now

Yes, and yes some more Adrian, stunning build mate the weathering is superb and contrasts with the gorgeous blue of the Scooby just right. The figures are spot on and the placing of the pieces on the dio make a well balanced dio.

I like this very much.

Three points to note are the soles of the mechanics would probably not be blue and the exhaust pipe looks white in the pics, could be the light or my poor old eyes. Also you need to dirty up the tread area of the tyres.

Superb build Adrian. Great weathering, you got the dust and dirt just right I think.

I'm almost coughing on the dust.

And it's giving me more ideas for my own eventual rally car project...

Yeah the boots were an over sight , the instructions show all blue on the driver and I didn't bother to check the mechanics,,, sorted that now though.

The exhaust pipe again, missed the smoke pigment on it, also sorted.

As for the tyres, the one that's not fitted is a new one been fitted Hence no dirt the others are dusted up

Ah, I see, thought it was one taken off.

The only thing I'd add would be the wheel studs, easy enough to do with some thin solder wire and looks effective too.

Great build mate.

? wheel studs?Adrian

You use the thin solder to create some studs of equal length, just have these lying on the floor near the wheel man, ready to go back on.

Studs on the hub that the wheel fits on, Subaru's don't use bolts I don't think, well the wrx I blatted round oulton park didn't.

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Don't forget the pictures when you're done mate, I like this and it looks like we've got our work cut out for us for the SIG next year if this is what the bars set at
