Today's Japanese hot rod planning: Will the Hobby Design resin kit of the Impreza STi engine fit in the engine bay of the Subaru Brat? It's gonna be tight... even more difficult than in real life, as the engine is 1/24, and the Brat about 4% smaller at 1/25.
I'm looking at grafting on an extended nose and airdam from the parts bin to clear all the radiators and intercoolers. I'm also going to try to avoid stealing anything from the Tamiya WRC kit in order to retain the capability to build it up OOB, which I will get around to eventually in spite of the lack of any decent engine detail.
Stay tuned! Could be fun.
