I feel like I’ve been whining about the lack of a 1/24 VA chassis WRX/STi for a while now. Back when I first built the Aoshima GRB it was only because that was the most modern STi kit we got, and I wasn’t truly on board with the hatch body (which was all that was available, sans the sedan…

Fujimi Mazdaspeed RX-8 A-Spec
I’ve always really liked these cars, even if the RX-8 lived most of its life being the little brother that just wasn’t good enough or as cool as its iconic predecessor, the RX-7.

I had accomplished the ludicrously Katoki-masterminded markings on the last kit via a back-breaking amount of masking and painting, and looking back on it now, I’m not sure how I did it. Ironic, considering I now have to actually do…
