Completed: Hasegawa 1994 Impreza Rally

[generationx]

This one just finished. An older issue of Hasegawa’s Subaru Impreza WRX (Rally 94/95) in 1/24th scale. A great little kit as is normal with this company’s models, which included a small sheet of photoetch. I got hold of Renaissance’s replacement decal set to depict the 1994 Rally GB winning car of Colin McRae, which set him on the road to his World Championship the year after.

Sitting high on gravel suspension the replacement decals give the correct day-glo look, and the Tamiya TS-50 spray looks spot-on.

A nice easy build which benefits from careful finishing, and on to the shelf it goes!

Nice clean job there.

Have enjoyed building one of this many years back, however the kit is rather sparse on the interior department.

Cheers

Very nice build!

Nice one, always good to see a "Scoobie"

Nice built.

Nice work, the yellow looks spot on. I've considered getting the Hasegawa Subaru Legacy and modelling the Rothmans livery as driven by Colin in '92. Seeing your build has inspired me a little more.

Hi

Your model looks the part with the correct fluo yellow markings.

There is just one problem. In 1994 the blue of the car was not metallic, but a non metallic purplish dark blue. At Hiroboy it is called 555 Rally Montecarlo Blue (1994-1996) 53C
TS-50 is correct for the Tamiya issued Sub's from 1997 to 2002 but not this one I'm afraid.

It still looks very good though!

Looks good! The first photo, especially, looks like the real car sitting on a monster sized modelling mat. A sharp, clean build.

Cheers, Chris
