A resin conversion set that turns a plastic kit into the four-door Impreza WRX STI sedan. Suited to a collector's display case as well as to a garage scene.
Responsibility details are not available.
The sedan form of the sharp Impreza returned to the range at the turn of the decade and among collectors it counts as the counterweight to the widespread hatchback. Broadly arched fenders, a pronounced wing above the trunk lid and a low stance give the car a silhouette you recognize across a whole room in a display case.
It stands out best in the company of Japanese machinery, where among sharp hatchbacks and coupes it reads as the calmer, more grown-up piece. The second option is a service setting: the car on a jack, a set of wheels to one side, jerrycans and tools around it — a three-quarter view from behind, where the wing meets the widened sides, is the most rewarding in such a scene.
This is an accessory that changes the shape of the body of an existing kit, not a model of its own. Before gluing, the castings are washed free of any remnants of mold release agent, the lugs are cleaned up and the fit is tried dry, because resin forgives less than plastic. The joint is made with cyanoacrylate glue, or with a two-part compound where a gap has to be made up.
The builder who already has several box kits behind him and wants a variant in the collection that is not ordinarily bought in a shop. Combined with add-on wheels, brakes and interior parts in the same scale it makes up a whole that cannot be put together from one box. The sedan will also take a bare installation on a plain base: the silhouette carries the attention by itself and needs no backdrop around it to hold interest. Anyone building a themed line from one maker gains a piece that is otherwise missing from it.
