Subaru Impreza 22b WRX '99 [Burns&Reid]

Primed all parts 

These are original in box parts that I decided to change to be more realistic 

These are altered after all modifications, I used pen springs, cut plastic ones out, glued new struts and added prepainted springs, which I also heat treated to be narrower.

Masking tape, wires and some sprue parts 

 

 

 

I've just glued some decals from original seatbelts on to these 

 

Seatbelts done 

 

Needed some filling, places are not easy to sand, but I'm gonna give it my best 

Some putty on spoiler mounting points, to be honest, this could've been done much easier if they just made whole spoiler just a separate thing, like on a real impreza 

 

Tried to buff out all the imperfectios 

 

I think this will hold up good 

OZ Supertourismo Magnesio are done. These are my all time favorite wheels for sure

Steps: 1. Putty 2. Sanding and buffing 3.painting. I'm really happy with this, I was really concerned I wasn't going to be able to pull it off 

I've assembled everything on lower portion, and painted the car, now on to adding decals and additional gloss coats and more polishing 

 

 

 

 

Decals are on, just missing final coat, lights and rubbers 

 

 

 

 

Studio pictures are done, there will be some more, I hope you enjoy 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On this picture you can see the decal which ripped of even, under the back window. I guess clear coat was too thin on that part. Lession learned
