Detailed 1/24 interpretation of the Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 by Tamiya

The Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 is a rally icon, recognised for its distinctive silhouette and competitive history. Tamiya's 1/24 scale kit reproduces its exterior and cockpit features for modellers who value scale accuracy. The original car competed at events such as the Monte Carlo Rally with a turbocharged flat-four engine; the kit intentionally omits engine internals and concentrates on exterior and cabin fidelity.

Build features and component quality

This kit offers crisply moulded plastic components that represent body panels, chassis and suspension details faithfully. The underside and suspension areas are modelled to enhance realism. Included are synthetic rubber tyres with appropriate tread and gold-styled wheels that echo the rally appearance.

Interior items like the roll cage, rear spoiler assembly and helmet mount contribute to a convincing interior and rear profile. The waterslide decals permit precise reproduction of period liveries and pictorial instructions help guide the assembly process.

Collector appeal and display uses

Assembled, the Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 model makes an attractive display subject with its detailed cockpit and faithful external shape. It is well suited to display cases, shelf arrangements or small rally scenes, appealing to collectors focused on historic rally cars.
