Hello All,
I managed to finish the Subaru Impreza WRC 2001, Tamiya 1/24. Very straight-forward build, went together nicely like all Tamiya WRC kits. I added a few details:
- p.e. set - SMS
- cf decals - S27, GSR
- rivets/bolts/fasteners - RB Motion, Hobby Design
- antennas - Acu-Stion
- seat-belts - SMS
- Switches, knobs, buttons - Hobby Design
- Paint - Tamiya TS-50 Mica Blue + TS-13 Clear

You can see the WIP here: http://www.f1m.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=15309

And the pictures here:

I highly recommend the Tamiya WRC kits. They go together very well, pack a nice level of detail and can be detailed well.

Next up I am contemplating a few options:
McLaren MP4/6 - Fujimi 1/20
Ferrari 801 - MFH 1/20
Lotus 79 - Tamiya or Hasegawa 1/20
Brabham BMW BT50 - Tamiya 1/20
Lotus 72C - MFH 1/20

Cheers,
Chris

Agreed on Tamiya, they do go together very nicely.

Hi Chris, Now that one deserves a "Special Stage" :!: Super build and the Mica blue looks fab.
Atb,Alexp.
PS: How about the "801" next, we don,t see that many cars from that era on here.
