Tamiya 2022 Subaru BRZ

[Jim B]

Here is my take on the Tamiya 2022 Subaru BRZ (ZD8):

The build (per my build style) is box-stock, although I did add the Japanese license plates from Kagoshima.  Japanese model of a Japanese car.  Seemed fitting.  Build went smoothly until final assembly when the model self-destructed five times while I was trying to put the body on.  I'm going to guess that it was completely my fault, and not the fault with any defect in the kit.  Body color is Tamiya Blue Mica TS-50.

Engine bay (yes, kit comes with a hood prop):

Interior:

Not my best work, but I'm moderately please with the results.  Onward & upward, right?

That's beautiful. Mica blue is a favorite  color of mine, and it looks good here. You build is clean and simple and came out great.

Very nice!

[Jim B]

Thanks, guys & gals.  I appreciate the positive comments.

Great looking paint color and the body trim is all cleanly done. Like the engine detailing. A lot can be done during an OOB build by just paying attention to the little details like this.

Thanks, David.  It's not a contest winner by any stretch of the imagination, but it looks pretty good.

Very schnazzy.  Great engine bay.

Jim...that's  great little kit and you did a good job with it. Like the wheels especially.

[Jim B]

Thanks, guys.  I appreciate it.

@Rich Chernosky The wheels are stock from the kit, and are painted with Tamiya Gun Metal X-10.

Thanks, Carl.

Nicely turned out. The engine bay really is a gem with all of the clean paint detailing.

Thanks, Justin.  Engine detail is kind of a unique feature on this Taniya kit.
