The Subaru Impreza WRC 2005 Monte Carlo holds a notable place in rally lore, especially after its run at the 2005 Monte Carlo Rally. Driven by Petter Solberg, the car pushed hard despite suffering brake problems before an off ended its campaign. The Tamiya 24281 model faithfully recreates that competition car with careful attention to historic accuracy.
This kit reproduces the Monte Carlo-specific features such as a lower ride height for tarmac stages, straight lower control arms, and Pirelli tyres that match the era. A sectional rear wing and the gold 10-spoke wheels are modelled to the correct appearance. The cockpit includes a detailed roll cage and instrument detail for realistic scenes.
Collectors and scratch builders will appreciate the inclusion of markings for both Solberg's No.5 and Sarrazin's No.6 cars, allowing for accurate historic displays.
