Tamiya 24231 1/24 Subaru Impreza STI Plastic Model Kit

Very solid overall. Plastics are very high quality, great detail, and clever engineering. Parts go on very easily, and you could tell Tamiya's engineers went to great lengths to make the car easy to assemble. An example are the brakes; the calipers are the disks are separate pieces to aid assembly. Everything goes together very well, no need for putty. Tamiya's kits cost more than other kit makers, but the premium is well worth paying; you get an attractive model thats easy to put together. Enjoyable kit for any scale model enthusiast or Subaru lover, would recommend.

Very authentic! This is a nice, handsome model car. It came molded in blue; I like blue cars. 1/24 scale, this one is from Tamiya. As the photos I added show, it has gold hubcaps and is a four-door car. In addition, if you look at the interior of the car, the steering wheel is on the right-hand side of the car--instead of the left side. The tires are Bridgestone-Potenza tires, and the model comes as a kit requiring both paint and glue. These are some interesting facts about the actual car. *Class: Compact Car *0 - 60 mph: 4.8 seconds *Top Speed: 155 mph *Currently (2015) one of the 100 Fastest Cars.

The model is very accurate to a 2002 Subaru STI. It's easy to paint on, the parts fit together well and are easy to take out of the plastic casing. I was shocked by how detailed this model was for the price.

Exactly as described. Fast service, product was all I had hoped.

Model is probably good. Haven’t built it. It did arrive with no plastic in the box so something could be gone.

👌🏻

Very giftable Like it

This was a bit of a disappointment on multiple levels. 1. The box arrived with multiple crush points to it. See photos attached. Normally I would attribute this to delivery, but see #2 which causes me to hesitate in making that assumption. 2. The box arrived with no cellophane wrapping on it, leading me to believe it was not new. 3. The box was taped shut with basic scotch tape. 4. No engine detail. I mean no engine detail, because there's no engine. Not exactly what I was used to when I was building car models in the 80's. See pics for all parts included.

このGDB-A型インプレッサには前輪ステア機構がないが、これ、多分あえてタミヤはそういう構成にしたと思う。 それも相まってこのキット組み立ての楽しさは断トツかもしれない。 もっといえば、このキット正直塗装しなくても楽しいはずです。なぜか。 まず成形色が親切です。塗装しなくたってウインカーは最初からクリアオレンジ、 テールライトはクリアレッドで色ついててホイールはすでにゴールド塗装済み。 ボディも成形色のブルーがすでにきれいです。※私は塗装しました 次に組み立てやすさ。例えばWRXのエンブレムはインレットマークで貼りやすい。 また部品精度が素晴らしいです。このため組み立て最中でもどこもずれません。 インパネ周りのエアコン操作スイッチの彫刻も実写に忠実で丁寧です。 そして、意見が分かれるシャシーの両輪をつなぐシャフトの件。前輪も後輪もシャフトでつなぐ構造で、 頑丈で組みあがった後の転がりもスムーズなのが良いところ。 ただステアリング機構ほしい方には物足りないかも。 私はステア機構有無を気にしたことがないので、普通に楽しめた。 結論：車プラモ入門にぴったり。 「車プラモ、楽プラは取り組んでみた。次に本格的なキットやってみたい。でもどれがいいんだ？？」と思った方。 ぜひこのインプレッサ候補に入れてください。 接着剤・ニッパー・カッターナイフ・ヤスリがあればOKです。 絶対楽しいですよ。 ※塗装派の方もちろん楽しめます！

Très beau cadeau pour un adorateur d'auto

Another enjoyable product from Tamiya

Hızlı kargo. Ürün açıklamada yazdığı gibi plastik ancak malzemesi epey sağlam duruyor. Kit olduğundan ötürü parçaları ayırmak için küçük de olsa kerpetene ihtiyacınız olabilir. Tekrar tercih etmeyi düşündüğüm bir alışveriş oldu.

As expected, item was a gift, the person liked it a lot and was happy
