Fujimi New Tool Subaru WRX STi (VAB) [2015-2019]

[niteowl7710]

Announced a few days ago - per Fujimi's X (aka Twitter). Expected release is "2026".

 

The 1/24 scale "SUBARU WRX STI" (VAB type) joins the inch-up series, which requires gluing, painting, and assembly!

This is the first completely new mold item for the inch-up series since 2017, marking the first all-new mold in about 9 years.

The highly anticipated first release is… The special edition "EJ20 Final Edition," of which 555 units were limited-release sold in 2019.

It recreates the car's distinctive features, such as the gold 19-inch wheels and the rear bumper with the air outlet grille.

Random, but very wanted, surprised it took this long to get a VA WRX, I’m sure we will see a bunch of variants,

This will undoubtedly be popular as the full size WRX STI is always a winner. It's also a really good sign to see Fujimi returning to the fray with new tooling given how quiet they can be at times - Evangelion Lobsters notwithstanding.
