Scooby Impreza WRC, Tamiya, 1/24

thought have a crack at this

had it in the stash for a while but had problems getting the right paint, i dislike tamiya paint but found i can mix 2 Mr Hobby colours to get the right shade

why mould it in roughly the right colour? its got flow lines all over it so its not as if you could just put a coat of clear over it! cant wait to prime it all, just looks horrible lol

im going to use some seats with pe seat belts which i did for a Corolla a while back which ended up on the shelf of doom as i damaged the body shell

I have something similar in the 'to do' pile and I always wondered the same thing. It even has pre-coloured gold wheels and clear red back lights. I suppose if you were a kid you would just want to quickly throw the thing together and not worry about paint. In fact I have early recollections of having the General Lee when I was about six and just chucked it together even though it was white. Problem is these days is that I assume there is not many kids into the hobby now. It's just us old miserable perfectionists doing it now.

was hoping to get a lot done today, spent most of it sorting the parts out in to piles ready for painting..........did a little bit of assembling and a light priming to show up any mould lines i need to get rid of.....not sure if i will use the light pod yet

Should look really cool Paul when it's done.

finally something to show...........had some trouble spraying the blue, think its cos im not used to metallics and my sparmax didnt like it

Paint is looking good Paul.

interiors is done

decided to add some pe seat belts thanks to eduard........................the real cars had red Sabelt 5 point but all i had was red Sparco 4 points so gone with them

i have a love/hate relationship with pe seatbelts, i find i have to concentrate to the point of headaches but at the same time i can just switch off and focus on them

scooby is back on the bench

decals arnt the greatest considering its a tamiya, bit thick and once they decide to stick, they stick!

I like the contrast of the gray in the interior with the blue. A really sharp build!
