I was looking for a kit to build, and I turn around and found one of my dog with his head in the box...

And he did not want to leave it...

I guess, this is the next project, should be a fast one, this kit doesn't have engine, is pretty much a curbside. I also have the photo etched parts...

Cool dog. He knows what he likes !

Thank you Ray! :D

Awesome! Love the second pic. As if he's saying Dad, build this one.

Thank you Ben! :D Build it or I start to chew it... :D

One cool things on this kit, is that there are dark tinted windows, for the rear/back windows.

I also have a "detail up" set sold also from Aoshima. There are photo etched parts, carpet new emblems etc...

You always hear about the dog that brings the slippers I like the idea he does model kits,

Looking forward to seeing you build this one.

He is a boy... :D

Here the start on the build, removed the kit seat belt guide, and replaced it with a photo etch one.

The height of the front end can be set as stock or lower.

Here the stock.

11218175_1004982882869758_30034923732317

The lower, I prefer this one... :)

11705141_1004982886203091_10956949060672

The rear end has not option for the height. I think I will lower it any way. I searched a few picture of the rear tire, because on the kit it looks that is slightly off center with the fender.

11216480_1005426279492085_41165976340491

Here what it should like after is lowered and re centered the wheels with the fender.

Sweet build!!! cant wait to see this finished.

Thank you 1hobby1! I like your Impreza. I think sedan Impreza have the better looking compared to those hatchback, probably because because I followed a lot of rally race, where the Impreza was a sedan... I almost bought one, was a late 90's two door, one of the few they made legal for the UK street (still had the UK license plate), unfortunately there was no way to use it in Italy...

It's really looking good so far. Another great build on the way!

Thank you Pat!

Body is ready for paint, and after thinking what color use, I think to make a Google maps car... I know Google used basic Impreza here in the US, and not STI. But, if you need to drive a car for work, you should have a "fun" car... :)
