    Mr. Bowcats Racers GB, Stefees Tamiya 1/24 Subaru Impreza WRC 99

    Many thanks to Bob for organising this GB which was first and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
    Typically Tamiya the build was problem free EXCEPT for the decals which I found rather brittle and prone to tearing.
    Finished in Proscale Paints Subaru 555 blue and their 2k clearcoat. Tamiya X and XF paints for the rest. 85 hours build time.
    Thanks for looking and C&Cs welcome.

    Stefan

    Could the mods please edit the title to get rid of the errant H in Bowcat? Thanks.

            Wow Stefan!!! That Subaru is absolutely gorgeous!!! The interior is also most excellent. Personally, I think she looks better without the light cluster, but even with it, she is one fine finished model Sir!!!...Toyota next before the hols???

                Firstly thank you for the compliments, secondly I am planning to start the Toyota next Monday and get the body primed , painted white, decaled and clearcoated before 4th July so it can cure whilst we are away in sunnier climes for a week

                            Wow Stefan, that is a work of art mate. Your painting skills are amazing, well done.
                            Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.
