Iconic WRC car translated to 1/24 scale

The Subaru Impreza WRC 1998 Monte Carlo is a defining car from the World Rally Championship era. Its competitive design and race upgrades made it an emblematic car of its time. Tamiya's 1/24 rendition brings those lines to a manageable scale for modellers focused on authentic presentation.

Origins and period race modifications

Subaru entered international rallying with the Legacy in 1990, then developed the Impreza from 1993 onwards as a more compact contender. The Impreza evolved with features such as blistered wings, a front spoiler for improved cooling, and a tuned rear wing. Coupled with a turbocharged flat-four engine, these changes helped the car perform consistently on varied stages.

Construction notes and display potential

The Tamiya 1/24 kit includes well-fitting components and accurate decals that allow a clean assembly. It suits modellers who want a historically faithful rally model for display cabinets or themed collections.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires Glue
  • Paint and Decals: Included
Intermediate modelling skills are recommended. The kit assembles well, but careful painting and decal work will significantly improve the final appearance.
The included decal sheet is designed to match period graphics and sponsor placements typical of the 1998 Monte Carlo entry, offering an authentic finish when applied correctly.
Keep the model in a dust-free cabinet away from direct sunlight and high humidity. A display case will protect paint and decals over time.
Some modellers add weathering, panel shading, or aftermarket parts for extra realism, but the kit already provides a solid base for an accurate finished model.
