Indeed....infact i think i will do that, but use metalflake paint and change the paint design slightly to look more modern.

Thanks for the idea!

Lets just hope i dont screw it up, since this'll be my first re-paint of any toy this size. PLus i am adding my own spoiler to replace the dull stock subaru one.

good luck with it...and my suggestion is get a scrap figure or a junker to practice on first

My brother did an anime Bluesteak (very easy) and a custom diaclone Bluestreak alternator. It looked nice once he was done painting it, but it took forever for him to complete it.

I'd forgotten how plain Silverstreak looks. Hope you find a Smokescreen. Though it would probably be easier to repaint Streak. He's alot easier to find.

and cheaper. In my local argos, he's like £12-15

£14.97 from my Tesco express. I was thinking of just re-painting him to look like alt smokescreen, but id need the impreza rally car decals and the rear spoiler, and to buy a 1/24 model kit which contains such thing is more expensive than buying streak!

Would be so much easier if i could only find such decals to buy online...the spoiler though...hmm...cant really see an alternative to that problem.

I have made a slight modification to the stock subaru spoiler thats on streak already, ive made it stick up higher, makes a big difference for such a small mod.
