Sam I Am Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Salvaged this Tamiya kit from a lot on Ebay. It was painted an ugly orange, had a broken A-pillar, and was missing the wheels and decals. I sourced an aftermarket set of decals for a 2003, and somebody gave me a set of wheels from a Porsche. So what started out as a neglected and abused Tamiya kit.....ended up looking like a used and abused Tamiya model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantewallace Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I have been looking for this kit for awhile to make a scale replica of my 1:1 2002 STI. I love the weathering effects. I'm sad that no company makes this year with a removable hood and engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
