zakdoggi Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Tamiya's Subaru WRX World Rally Car kit built as a Victorian (Australia) Police Highway Patrol Vehicle. Kit box stock except for treaded tires swapped in from parts box. Light bar and antennae all scratchbuilt with homemade decals and number plates "MAD 555" as a tribute to Subaru Rall Team's famous 555 sponsorship. I built this many years ago and thought it deserved an airing. Cheers......Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THarrison351 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 That's kind of a scary thought! The cops are sometimes a little out of control in the vehicles they have. I can't imagine them turned loose in a full boat rally car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim, the Police here did in fact run Subaru WRXs, the standard versions, not the rally versions. Cheers......Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers......Geoff I can see the running standard versions. Plus those are a little heavier and have less power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I like it a lot. Should you look in the rear view mirror and see this, you just know your going to get a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thanks for sharing! I like the light bar detail, that probably took as much time as the rest of the project. I have the kit in my stash, along with an engine, someday...... But I will call, and raise you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Really neat! I did a similar job last year, or was it the year before? The 1/24 Airfix Scooby.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
