Hasegawa 1/24 Subaru Impreza 1996 Rally New Zealand - Faithful Scale Representation

The Subaru Impreza from the 1996 Rally New Zealand is a landmark rally car. This Hasegawa 1/24 kit recreates the vehicle's lines and race era details, making it a strong pick for collectors and dedicated builders.

Rally Heritage and Real-World Background

Driven by Colin McRae, the 1996 Impreza demonstrated Subaru's durability and speed across challenging stages. The model gives a hands-on way to study that period of rally competition and appreciate its impact.

What Builders Can Expect from the Kit

Hasegawa supplies finely moulded components and precise surface detail, from body contours to decal positions. With careful assembly and paintwork the finished model looks authentic in displays or alongside other rally kits.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/24
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Dimensions: Accurate to the original
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
The kit has detailed parts that require precise assembly. It is aimed at modellers who have handled gluing and painting before, though careful beginners can complete it with time.
The kit represents key interior and external features at scale. For extra realism some builders add aftermarket parts or paint detail to enhance the cockpit and engine bay.
Enamel or acrylic hobby paints both work well. Use thin coats with an airbrush or multiple light brush coats to avoid obscuring fine panel lines and decal areas.
Soften the decals in water, trim close to the artwork, and use a decal setting solution to help them conform to panel curves. Seal with a clear coat once dry.
