Slowly nearing completion, could not resist making one in blood red, loads to do yet. Based on a TA03F chassis with 3mm offset wheels and turnbuckle upper suspension arms.
Awesome in red, almost bought me the real deal, road going version back in the 90's but the left hand drive issue put me off, great work and pics my friend 👍😃
Looks lovely that, lines are very neat, what is your technique? I usually make a right mess of them. Have you seen our resident Truck Noris' builds? I think your wheels would look good with a coat of silver paint if they're for display purposes, that's what TN does and it looks fantastic.
These wheels don't accept paint very well at all, the plastic seems very waxy/oily but I will paint them as this is just going in a display case. I really want to do a replica of the road cars interior (beige Alcantara-effect) but don't know where to start and what materials to use to recreate it.
I almost bought an EVO myself years ago for £7.5k in black, chickened out...now look how much they are worth! I drove a Very low mileage final.edition one for Classic Car magazines readers rides the other year. It was standard and I'll be honest...I was disappointed. I owned a proper Prodrive performance packed 1996 Impreza years ago (that was not by any means low mileage!) and the Impreza was twice the car to drive. Integrale still looks fantastic and is legendary in rally form, but in terms of the road cars my Impreza had a significant edge...the trouble is the perceived image of Impreza's to 'non rally fans'. But at least you don't have to be wealthy to afford an Impreza!
Yup I hear you mate regarding performance of the Integrale but it was the beginning of 4 wheel drive rallying and the car for me certainly looked the bizz 😉 Yes they are worth some money now if you still have a good conditioned one 👍

very nice classic racer! - red was an excellent choice, it fits the Lancia perfect!

The lines I use Tamiyas own tape for, it's not very adhesive and on a runner gets scraped off very easily, it's pretty easy to apply though.
