Tough one. Black hides the detail of it. Looks good but I think colour coded?
Maybe another case of photo making it look darker than it really is. I'd say Satin black before white. Maybe white with coloured badge would work, a pink STi or blue Stars.

+1 with Haz, although I'm thinking satin black so it looks closer to this:
Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

I watched an S401 front bumper go for $138 in Japan.
S401 is sedan though so personally I wouldn't fit it to a wagon.

Model progress time consuming but relaxing at the same time.
Chassis and driveline done, next move onto interior. Body is just sitting together at the moment and I'll do that last.
Well detailed, even the tyres have Bridgestone Potenza RE71 on them.
And another $10 brochure from Japan.

Very nice. I can imagine how much attention to detail you are giving to the model.

Sounds like a very good idea. I'll take pictures of the one's I have and start one if no one else does before hand.

Nice work on the 1:24. Did you have a bitch of a time cutting out the sunroof? Also, enjoy the headlights

Cheers Jim. Sunroof wasnt too bad as it had lines on the inside to follow. Headlights will be fun.

My same 1:24 that you have is sitting in brake fluid lol. Had an off day, forgot the primer and went too heavy on the paint. Check out "The Model Car" thread and someone posted a link to a really good site which has heaps of tips and tricks on making the most of it. These things are too rare and expensive to mess up bad!

Jimbo I couldn't find the model car thread (search-fu is weak), but:
1. Grab jumbo-size coffee, get comfortable, then visit here: http://italianhorses...s/tutorials.htm
2. ???
3. Profit
You can easily spend more time on 1/24 than on a 1/1.
