Alan Crossley Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Any built this model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I haven't, but it's a relatively recent Hasegawa kit. You shouldn't have any issues. A more detailed question might give you a more detailed answer - was there something specific that you wanted to know about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Crossley Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 I am wanting to build it as Colin McRae's 1994 RAC rally winning car and want to know if it can be built that way straight out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Possibly, but most likely not. There's a lot of evolution between rallies, let alone annually. Best bet would be to look for some images from that rally and see what's different to the kit. Of course if you're not that fussy about being exact, as long as the shell is the same it would probably do. Just don't let the rivet counters see it.

Alan Crossley Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Not bothered about the rivet counters! It's my model clubs 25th anniversary next year and we going to build anything that has something to do with 25 eg anything that's silver or links with the year i.e. 1994 hence Colin McRaes RAC win.

Scarlet Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 It builds pretty well out of the box and the kit includes seat belt material, vinyl for mud flaps, window masks and an etch sheet which includes seat belt buckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Noble Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It's an excellent kit. You can built a few different versions from the same basic kit, '93, '94, '95. I built it many years ago. Add some photo-etch parts and some decent decals and you'll end up with a nice replica. One thing to do is lower the suspension a little if you can. It's too high even for a gravel rally. Paint colour is a little off, too light, too blue.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Don't know if these would be of any help but I've got a folder of detail pictures for a '96 works car (N555WRC) saved for when I get round to building mine. https://www.flickr.com/photos/87463693@N08/albums/72157688607243933 Took them when I co-drove in it on a rally back in 2014 - Definitely the best experience I've had in a Subaru rally car - some of the others have been awful...

Great detail photos you got . I love being able to stick my camera in at rally service halts , even on Rally GB . Imagine doing that in Formula 1 !

Took the detail shots as I have the Hasegawa kit in my stash to build at some point too. KR's IanJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy37 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Thanks for that . Bet it was an experience to co drive in such an iconic car . Gary . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Have been somewhat fortunate over the years, navigated in a fair bit of "stuff" - My main driver seemed determined to try every car going on at least one event before getting distracted by something else that was shiny - Sometimes the entry form would change 3 times before we got to the startline, Club spec Impreza's of varying quality, Sierra Cosworth 4x4 twice (Loved that car), Escort Cossie (Hopeless), Evo6 (Engine exploded on stage 2) Fiesta ST150 challenge car and finally persuaded him to go for something simpler so used a 205 GTI for a couple of years. Navigating for Bob was a one off as his two regular navigators were on holiday. Taking off from the startline was the oddest part of it as the car seems to accelerate in two directions at the same time. Wouldn't have missed the experience for the world.
