Tamiya 1/24 scale take on the Subaru Impreza WRC 2001

The Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 is recognised for its rally pedigree and distinctive styling. Tamiya captures those traits in this 1/24 scale model, aimed at builders who value exterior accuracy and cockpit realism. The full-size car competed at events such as the Monte Carlo Rally, powered by a turbocharged flat-four; the kit focuses on external and interior appearance rather than engine components.

What to expect while building

This model kit presents cleanly moulded plastic pieces representing body panels, chassis and suspension detail. The realistic underside and suspension shapes add to the scale authenticity. Synthetic rubber tyres with correct tread and gold-coloured wheels are included to reflect the rally setup.

Additional assembly elements like the interior roll cage, rear spoiler and helmet bracket enhance realism. Waterslide decals help you recreate period-correct markings, with clear pictorial instructions to follow during assembly.

Display value for model collections

Once complete, the Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 model stands out on a shelf or in a small scene thanks to its detailed cockpit and accurate exterior proportions. Its period significance makes it a rewarding piece for rally collectors and scale modellers alike.
