SNAP !!
I only found this thread because I was searching the net for custom painted Brats ( Brumby to us Aussies ) to get ideas for my build (in 1:1 scale).
Gobsmacked to see an almost identical custom model to mine :
Except mine is a backyard job compared to this beauty. I sort of got bored with it toward the end and just slapped it together - don't have time like when I was a kid to do all the fine detailing :-(
Oh and mine is a little bit different with 2 x WRX engines :
Model was made with WRX interior and WRX chassis and a WRX front chassis welded in at the rear.
Yes I plan to build this for real - I have a rusty old Brumby (oops sorr - Brat) sitting in the garage waiting already. Not sure exactly how I am going to do it for real yet though. Will know more after I finish my current real build which is a Brat with full WRX running gear and a 13B turbo rotary engine
