Redstaff Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Seeing as this GB is now running till the end of the month and I haven't got anything else GB wise till middle of Feb I thought I'd throw another quick oob into the ring. I started last week but I've only just got round to posting, so here we go. Tamiya 2001 Subaru Impreza from 2001 probably going to be in Richard Burns markings. TS50 spray can and Tamiya hairy stick acrylics for the rest. Should just about be able to get this over the finish line and add it into the gallery before the end 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wings unlevel Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Iconic! Imprezas have a special place in my heart, having owned a couple of WRXs back in the day, including a ‘bug eye’ model the same shape as this. Have fun with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Rattling along with this one now to get it done Seats and roll cage painted and fitted, door cards the same and body shell and spoiler prepped and into primer 😀 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Well, that's all for this one folks Masked the windows, painted ok, heard a crack when removing the masking and the screen has cracked right down the middle... 🙄 Back on the shelf of shame until I get another screen or throw it all out of the window in frustration. 😱 You have to laugh at these things otherwise you would go mad (well, madder than we already are) 🤣 🤣 Never mind, onwards and upwards, it's time to make a choice for the classic Japanese build and see if I need any bits or paint etc. 🤔 Ian 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Had that happen once many moons ago. I took plastic striping just wide enough to cover it up and painted it as a reinforcing strip to help the window. If you have access to rivet decals or a tool you can go the extra bit and make it look like its riveted to the windscreen. Not too far fetched since the real ones are Lexan or something similar and not real glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Given how hard these things are used could you weather it up to make it look dirty and abused with a few more dents and scrapes to explain the cracked windscreen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings unlevel Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 While a cracked windscreen is rally car authentic, I can feel your pain. 😪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a possibility, but tbh I've lost interest in it at the minute, so it can sit back on the shelf for a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fresh perspective can make a big difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
