Ruppster Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 The other day I picked up a Tamiya kit for an Impreza WRX STi and have been working on it for the last couple of evenings. This got me wondering if anyone else in the group likes to build car kits also. So how about it, are there any more kit builders out there? I think my next Subaru kit will be a Fujimi Legacy wagon.

LegacyT Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I'm into it as well. Right now i'm building the tamiya Impreza 22B WRC 99. I also built a model of my full scale car, the Legacy turbo, since I by chance came across the Hasegawa Legacy Turbo kit in a hobby shop, this kits been discontinued since 94. I know fujimi used to make an XT turbo kit, I'd like to find that one. I'd love to find an RX coupe kit, but after searching I think no one produced a kit like that, and I also looked for an SVX kit but I don't think any one made that one either.

Nickshu Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I wish I had the time to work more on these! I have managed to accumulate a collection of die-cast 1:18 models though (no assembly required). Check out http://www.apexgarage.com They have some great models, including a nice WRX.

Forester_Ranger Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 the only model I've built was the 1/24 scale tamiya impreza wrc 98 safari. I painted it purple and only put on the yellow subaru stripes and logo decals. I left all the sponsors and number decals off. I'm quite happy with it and would like to do some other 1/24 scale wrc models and a 98 forester (if they made one). Otherwise I'm an avid 1/64 scale diecast collector. most of my time goes to collecting and modifying 1/64 scale vehicles. The only other subaru models i have are 1/64. I have several street tuned 02 wrx's by funline mucle machines, a legacy gt wagon and a sambar bakery truck both made by tomica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettm57 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Why are you guys messing with stationary stuff? You gotta get runnin' some slot cars, man! Now THAT'S fun! We run 1/32 scale cars and have a ball! I got a 6'x20' table in my basement with a four lane track, computer scoring, the whole nine yards.

Hondasucks Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I've got a Tamiya model of the 98 WRC car, my former Pink Martini got for me for Christmas last year, still sitting in the box cuz I haven't gotten paint for it yet, and they are a lot easier to paint with the parts still on the little tree thinger. It's gonna be p1mp sh1znit when I get it built though :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
