Subaru Impreza WRC '98 Safari and crew

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

Hi all, I held a little impromptu vote a while back and this came out the winner for my next build.

I've ordered a few extra's for it like harness seatbelts and a rally mechanics set. I intend to scratch build a gazebo with a removable top as well to show the team working on the car.

So far it's been a straight forward build that I'm really enjoying.

The chassis was all from a can, they base was TS15 then TS50 Mica Blue, then main body I did the same apart from rubbing down the TS15 and the spraying a coat of TS50, this was then treated to a 12000 grit rub down before another coat was applied, I'll show pics of that when I start to add the decals

I put my lights on to take the first pics and got a load of flash back, so opted for the one flash
