Fujimi Subaru Impreza WRX STi 2003

This is actually my first 1:24 scale car. You can create 2 versions of the 2003 WRX with this kit, I chose to do the standard STi in metallic black (Tamiya's TS-40). The kit goes together well, no flash and the parts fit well. It lacks detail though, mainly the light units and also in the interior, the tub is really basic. I've added seat belts to have something to look at. I used Vallejo metal colours for the underside because I wanted to try them out. They're great to work with as it turns out so I'll definitely use them again. The interior is Tamiya flat black with a gloss clear, some Vallejo metal again for the dash details and Vallejo blue for the seats. The rims come painted with the kit, I thought they were fine so I kept them like this. There are 2 sets of rims in the kit by the way. I didn't add too many decals, I wanted the "basic" look. The kit comes with DIY number plate decals which I thought is a nice touch.
