Subaru Impreza Rally Japan 2004
Except for some bonnet pins, i'm calling this pain in the ass done.
Pushing to finish before the new year. Not doing harnesses saved probably a month or two....OOB all the way!
I got my miles in today! Walking from one end of the house to the other, reheating my dish of water each time I went to apply a decal. Crazy.
Got the big headaches out of the way.....kinda
Start this one while I wait for some things for my 020B project. First was to paint the blue then spend way more time than I prefer masking off the entire body to paint the black trim bits.
Old decals.....gotta love em!

Thanks, because these things are a ROYAL pain. It's taking almost boiling water just to get them off the paper. Both Subaru emblems cracked along the rear fender. I have this Vallejo paint that is almost a perfect match to the neon green but, for whatever reason, it dried more yellow. This car may wind up getting some weathering.

Fought my share of old and stubborn decals and it's never fun. I have no doubt this will look good. Weathering a rally car…might as well. They're rarely clean anyway. Look forward to seeing it.

Not for the 04 and 05s, sadly. That's okay, I can soldier on with these, I'm almost done. ( To be clear: there are after markets made, there aren't any available.)

It's looking good. Your patience is paying off. I love these cars and liveries.

I actually found some aftermarket decals. But somehow, it didnt occur to the printer to cut out the door handle parts......think i'll stick with what I have. Now to the chassis and interior.....which means harnesses......yuck.
