Tamiya 24199 1/24 Subaru Impreza WRC 1998 Monte Carlo Model Kit - Collector Edition  [24199]

Compact rally icon recreated in 1/24

The Subaru Impreza WRC 1998 Monte Carlo is a standout example of late 90s rally engineering. Its competitive results helped define Subaru's rally era. The Tamiya 1/24 scale kit reproduces the car's race form, offering a compact but detailed model for display or diorama use.

Evolution from Legacy to Impreza on the stages

After entering rallying with the Legacy in 1990, Subaru introduced the Impreza in 1993 and developed it to meet World Rally Car rules. Key race adaptations included expanded wheel arches, enhanced front spoilers to improve cooling, and a tuned rear wing. The turbocharged flat four engine provided the performance that kept the Impreza at the front of the field.

What builders will appreciate

The Tamiya 1/24 kit focuses on accurate body lines and race detailing, with well-engineered parts that fit together cleanly. It is a good pick for modellers who value authentic decals and a tidy assembly process when creating a period-accurate rally display piece.
