Subaru XT

[scottg]

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

They were a rarity here in the Midwest U.S. Nice to jog my memory with one from the past!
