Scottnkat Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Here's my Tamiya Subaru Alcyone changed into a US Subaru XT. This was done as part of a 24 hour build on a different site. I used the left hand drive dash in the kit and made decals for it so the car would match a car my wife and I used to own. I filled the backs of the seats so they weren't open and flocked the interior. I had to work and get some running around done on the day of the build before I could start, so instead of starting at noon, I started at 8:00pm. I was still able to get done at 11:57 the next morning, so I barely made it. I am glad that I chose this kit to build as I wouldn't have been able to complete a full-featured kit in that time. Here's the pics: We had a picture of Lady Death on our old car - I couldn't forget to put that on. When I noticed this picture, I realized that I'd forgotten to paint the emblems on the hood and trunk. I'll go finish that before I stick this up on the shelf, so I guess that I didn't actually complete it by noon. The headlights do pop up and open Here's the interior - sorry for the glare and a final picture
Daddyfink Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Nice build of something you don't see that often! One of my fellow classmates got one new for her high school graduation in 1986. Weird little car.
Scalper Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 cool.. I Used the think these cars where so ahead of there time back in the day
slusher Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Very impressive build for less then a day. Very sharp..
Baugher Garage Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 My dad drove one of these. Pretty cool little car!
Chris White Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Nice build, I worked for Subaru (once apon a time), these I remember. Style was an option !!!!!
Faust Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Fantastic! This is one of those kits I've got on my list to get one of these days. It's not a grail, but it's up there! it's great to see one built! They are weird, though, but very cool in a cyber-future way!
Scottnkat Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks, everyone. I am overall happy with it considering the time restraints.
om617 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Very nice I remember see one of those as an kid and it was like an spaceship on wheels. I belive it was an 1.8 turbo.
