OK, let's get start :P

some tiny wip progress, ^_^


all the mica blue parts are prime 1st together with the body


drill out holes on both sides to insert seatbelts


im going to use this PE set ^_^

there's a huge gap between the wheel arch and body, so i add some styrene card to extend the wheel arch





there's a huge gap at this angle, now its fix with styrene card, forgot take pic before mod :P




and some random prime parts

ur styrene is tearing apart..
sure u use extra thin cement :lol:
use super glue or epoxy glue..
0.3mm bend like dat after kena thin cement sure crack..

luckily that part not very visible :P

edit: i thought u said cement, but ok, try super glue text time

if i tampal those crack area with dissolve putty ok onot?

redo better.. easier to redo than to tampal IMO..

dry fit of the roll cage, since im going to add some wiring, seat belts & some detailing, this is to see where the wiring goes, where fits and where not, since this rollcage is quite complicated, so proper planning of glueing is important, and i spot 2 holes at behind the seat that serve no purpose <_< , i guess it is because the chassis is from 2001 version, which suppose got something there :P







quick mock up

Seems that everything is in order on ur process....on the 'gear' section, that's a PE part? :huh:

i didnt apply any PE parts yet

is it the nut that u mean?


i use this, as a trial to connect the wire and lock to the 'gear', actually i also duno that part call what :P

Wah, more and more are building WRC... If all goes well tonight, I will continue mine... Cannot tahan already... kena start building... hehehe...

hoho..me also tak sabar to try the finisher's subaru wrc blue i bought at HK :P , hopefully can start the base coat by this week ^_^

Hi Entau...

These are rivets and you can use them to create reliastic screws on the side of foglamp, intake covers etc...



Happy Modelling~! B)

# - Above pic is for reference only.

wah, u so fast.

pcevo: will try that :P

BV: no lah, where got fast, i started some parts last 2 months ago, still got lots more, but body not much left, i just need to finish all those mica blue part 1st and AB together so the color takda lari :lol:

Ya la Vince... building model must be slow ma then only got the feel just like...oppss solli... enjoy the building process i mean :lol:

some progress ^_^

since i only had 1 bottle of finisher ricebox's subaru wrc blue, i worried i might run out halfway,
so i mix a custom metalic blue with mr color metallic blue + gaia ultra blue + flurescent pink as base coat, and apply the wrc blue on top of it

here's the comparison:

though not clearly shown in pics, the wrc blue is much brighter and nicer

drill some holes at the roll cage


since i already remove the wiper nozzles earlier, i got no choice but to scratch it



left is shaped, right is unshape plastic plate 0.25mm cement on stretch sprue

drill some holes again at the bumper


use some 0.4mm dia rivet with 0.75 diameter head suggested by PcEvo :P


here is how it looks


thats all for today, comments welcome :)

Aiseh, I wanted to do the windshield washer like that... It seems that you beat me to it... <_<

Looks good there Entau... :D

the 1st try was unsuccesful, looks super ugly, then the 2nd try was slighty better but break halfway, this is the 3rd time, hopefully the sprue remain sticking to the washer's nozzle :P

i really had difficulty during polishing, so made decision to shave the washer nozzle before i even scratch built it (pressure myself :lol:)

The same reason I remove all the bolts and windshield washer on my Toyota Corolla as well... :D

tiny update:


safefy aid box behind the rollcage


gearbox and lower arms painted with gun metal, semigloss black, gold & titanium and some dry brushing


discbrake with pe, painted with metalic blue and steel, caliper in titanium


bucket seat, really hard to remove all wrinkles, even with softer :wacko:

Looking good Entau... keep it up~! B)

entau bro, your sakit sudah ok ka? very boringlah bro do the GB alone :P hehe

dah sembuh, need to AB few part 1st before can proceed, but AB in my bro's room, cant use it all the time <_<

seksanya menunggu... :cry:

You mean your new house or what?

haha oh mannnnn. No motivationlah bro...... because nobody doing progress. Affraid be like brother silantara "the mood is faiding away" hehe

wait u go out lah...so i can AB


sky: awak tu laju sangat buat apa :lol:

actually my modeling hour kinda restricted, especially painting time, must wait till line clear baru bleh AB, sometimes quite stressfull ;)

hahahaha entau bro curik his AB lah "kidnap" hahahaha
Not laju sangatlah bro, boring dont know what to do so do model loh. Want to do something else very tired loh because everyday working, so its either model or tido. :P

but kidnap sekali kompresor 5kg ngan kotak kipas AB naik turun tangga tu yang seksa

and weekend definitely no chance AB at all coz need to teman gf :lol:

dasat dasat,bole kidnap AB lg nk modeling..motivated btui si entau ni.. :D

actually banyak jugak benda yang aku kidnap from time to time, untung jugak abang aku main model kit :P

isnin gua main badminton, kadang2 pi lepak kat ray punye workshop, tu ade masa bah..

brother entau, already got the "lubang chance on Monday" hehe :ph43r: sneak into the room ninja style lah :ph43r: :ph43r: :ph43r: :ph43r:

keh keh keh

As usual, klay go badminton last night, so i got some opportunity to AB something :P





the final color which i post earlier the A+B, the B is ricebox's wrc blue which is matt, so i still had to apply another 1-2 gloss clear before decal, another wait <_<


some AB parts


scratchbuilt some component, from left i think is leg rest?, mic/communication controller, LCD screen


some CF decal parts




those CF above is from KA models, though the scale size is not very small, but it looks ok, coz the silver is actually darker shade, compare below CF from crazy modeler which a bit fake when zoom in

hoho abg entau. You said never used CF decal before, but like prolah :P . Very good so many parts did already hoho. The scratchbuild parts, made from what? teach lah.... we all want to learn loh :P

I like the KA CF, better looking. I agree The crazy modeller CF does look fake hehe. At first I wanted to design the co-pilot foot rest like the CF that you did which is going sideways. But when I checked my reference for the 2001 car, they didn't have that design. It was flat CF huhu. The 2004 car looks better anyway huhu. Good job.

P/S: I think your impreza will potong mine la..... very fast so many parts kautim already huhu.

the cf i also learn abit from you :P
after took like 2 hours for the kevlar decal on the seat, i decided to buy a hair dryer

and it work much much better and faster :D

all the scratchbuilt stuff i made with plastic sheet, 1mm and 0.4mm i think, not hard

cut a line, snap the plastic card, cement, sand, drill holes if needed, alot of sanding to get the right shape :lol:

i only use thin cement for glueing those small parts

Looks like I have to buy a hair dryer as well lah... hahaha... :lol:

i bought it last week, pensonic rm23.90 at giant :lol:

at least save 50% of time

abg druid, dont "kedekutlah" giant, mydin, parkson, all sell hairdryer one. Go to mydinlah. Buy 10 free 3 hahahahahahaha :lol:

Bukan buy 3 free 10 ke??? Hahaha...

Ye lah I go and buy this afternoon... For sure my wife pelik... hahaha... So, have to buy her a vacuum cleaner lah to divert the attention... :lol:

Dah, dah... back to the topic... any progress on the interior tub?

hahha...my girlfren said "Oh, ask u buy hair dryer for me 3 times also said no time, modeling need hair dryer quickly buy one"

interior still need another gloss coat before i can start do anything

after gloss coat, metallic blue had become deeper



here is after 2000 wetsand, autosol, tamiya compound coarse and fine, only roof, the rest haven't polish yet :P

wah very shiny leh broder entau. Bro after sand with 2000, then compound and everything, do you need to spray clear again? or just leave like that will be shiny? Because the video of the japanese making the impreza, he sanded his car and just rub compound like the kit was going to break :lol: and then finish without spraying clear. Wanna learn how to make a good shining finishing
