Fujimi brings us a 1/24-scale model kit of the Subaru WRX STI EJ20 Final Edition -- a special-edition vehicle limited to a production run of just 555 units in 2019!
[Structural & Design Features]:
This glue-assembly kit features a precision-crafted design that prioritizes accurate body styling.
A snap-fit assembly format is used for select parts to ensure ease of construction.
Designed with dedicated gluing surfaces on individual parts to further facilitate the assembly process.
[Highlights]:
Accurately replicates the unique features of the EJ20 Final Edition, including its exclusive 19-inch wheels (molded in gold-colored plastic) and rear bumper with integrated air outlet grilles.
Reproduces the distinctive fog lamp cover shape characteristic of the final production model (Applied Model F).
Allows the builder to choose between installing or omitting the LED accessory liners.
Features large brake calipers -- 6-piston at the front and 2-pistol at the rear -- along with accurately reproduced drilled brake rotors.
Parts typically finished in chrome plating on the actual vehicle, such as the headlights, exhaust muffler, and wheels, are provided as unplated parts in this kit; this offers the builder greater creative freedom to apply their own paint finishes (i.e. chrome-effect paint) as they see fit.
[Body]:
The main body shell is molded as a single, solid piece, with the exception of the hood, front bumper, and rear bumper. The hood is a separate, independent part.
Features a functional mechanism allowing the hood to be opened and closed.
The distinctive air intake scoop is composed of three separate parts, designed to facilitate easy color separation during painting.
[Headlight Parts]:
Composed of three distinct parts: the main housing, the headlight lengs, and the projector lens.
The main housing is molded in a metallic silver color, while the lenses are provided as clear parts.
[Front Bumper]:
A dedicated part specific to the late-model version of the vehicle. Composed of nine parts: front bumper, front lower grille, front grille, radiator, left and right fog lamp covers, left and right LED accessory liners, and license plate.
Designed with careful consideration for precise alignment during assembly,
The front lower grille is molded separately from the front bumper to facilitate easy two-tone painting.
The front grille is a standalone part with the emblem integrated into the molding.
The radiator component is a standalone part.
Builders can choose whether or not to install the accessory liners within the fog lamp covers.
The LED accessory liners are molded in clear plastic.
The license plate is a separate part, shared with the rear assembly.
[Other Parts]:
The cowl top panel and windshield wipers consist of three separate parts.
The side garnishes on the front fenders are separate parts. They attach by inserting into corresponding recesses on the body.
The front fender ducts are separate parts. They attach by inserting from the underside of the body.
The side mirrors consist of three parts: a main body/base unit (with the mirror surface molded in place), a mirror cover, and a door mirror indicator lens. The main body/base unit is molded in black, the mirror cover is molded in white, and the door mirror indicator lens is a clear part.
The door handles are composed of four separate parts, each featuring a unique dedicated shape. The driver's-side part features a sculpted keyhole detail.
The rear bumper assembly consists of three parts: the bumper body, rear diffuser, and rear fog light, designed to facilitate easy paint masking and separation.
The rear bumper's air outlet grille area utilizes recessed molding to realistically depict the open mesh structure.
The rear fog light section is rendered using clear parts.
The taillights are composed of two parts: the main housing and the lens. The housing is molded in a silver plated-style finish, while the lens is a clear part.
The distinctive, large rear spoiler consists of three parts: the main wing body, and the left and right support stays. Installation requires drilling holes into the vehlcle body (1.5mm diameter).
[Windows]:
The window components feature a snap-fit design, consisting of two main parts: a single-piece unit covering the front and side windows (three surfaces), and a separate rear window piece.
The interior surfaces feature sculpted details to aid in paint masking and separation.
The rear wiper is provided as a separate, distinct part.
[Interior]:
The interior assembly is structured around a base part that integrates the floor pan and seat bases; to this, the left and right door panels are attached. This assembly is then combined with a pair of two-part seats, a shift knob, a handbrake lever, and a center console.
The instrument panel assembly combines the multi-function display cowl, the steering wheel, and the navigation system unit.
[Chassis]:
While faithfully reproducing the structure of the actual vehicle as closely as possible, the model incorporates the "E.A.S." (Easy Alignment System). In addition to a functional steering mechanism, this system allows for independent, four-wheel adjustment of both ride height and camber angle.
Beyond simply lowering or lifting the vehicle, this system enables the recreation of various dynamic vehicle postures, such as those seen during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
The "E.A.S." is a system featuring independent, continuously variable (stepless) adjustment mechanisms for both ride height and camber angle on all four wheels, allowing for the articulation and adjustment of three key suspension parameters: steering angle, ride height, and camber angle.
[Engine & Exhaust]:
The distinctive quad-outlet exhaust system consists of seven parts: the piping, the left and right muffler bodies, and the tailpipe tips. These parts are molded in a silver-plated-style finish.
[Tires, Wheels, & Suspension]:
The tires are newly designed and manufactured specifically for this kit. Recreates the texture of the actual vehicle using rubber materials.
Wheels feature an exclusive design, molded in a gold-plated finish.
Brake components are distinctly modeled for the front and rear assemblies.
Includes 6-pistol front brake calipers and 2-pistol rear calipers.
The disc rotors faithfully replicate a drilled disc design.
Molded in a silver-plated finish.
[Decals]:
Includes decals for emblems, STI logos, "Cherry Red" accent lines, instrument gauges, wheel caps, and more.

[Size]: Approximately 19cm long, 8.5cm wide, 6.5cm high when completed
Skill Level 1 kits require some minor assembly, but are so simple anyone can do it. Such kits seldom require cement or paint, but read any additional explanation provided to be sure. With the possible exception of a pair of plastic nippers, no special tools or supplies are needed to complete a kit like this.
Skill Level 2:
Easy to Complete
Skill Level 2 kits require basic plastic model assembly techniques, such as cutting parts from the runners, and cutting or sanding away the remains of the gates (the place where the part was connected to the runner). Some kits in this level also provide stickers for some markings. Most level 2 kits do not require cement or paint, but be sure to read any additional information provided to be sure. To nicely complete a level 2 kit, you will want to have a pair of plastic nippers for cutting parts from the runners, and a fine file, sandpaper or hobby knife for cleaning the gates. In some cases, a pair of tweezers makes applying stickers easier. Most adults with no prior modeling experience would have no trouble completing a kit of skill level 2. Parents would probably want to assist younger children with a kit of this level if they have never built one before.
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
Skill Level 4:
Advanced Skills Required
Kits that we have rated as skill level 4 require all the same modeling techniques and tools as skill level 3. However, these kits tend to include more and smaller parts, the use of multiple materials (resin, white metal, photo-etched, etc.) to complete the kit, and the need to perform some modifications to the parts before they can be used, such as changing their size, opening holes, etc. To properly complete a level 4 kit, you will want to have all of the skill level 3 tools. In addition, a pin-vise (hand-powered drill) and plastic saw will assist in modification of parts when necessary.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children at all. Children under 14, even if experienced, are likely to have difficulty with a kit like this if they attempt it alone. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit are advised to avoid kits of skill level 4 or 5 until they have gained modeling experience working with something less challenging. Examples of kits in skill level 4 would be injection-plastic kits of cars or aircraft that include resin or white metal modification parts, or kits that call for you to cut or otherwise modify existing parts in some way. Many resin figure kits with many parts would also fall into this class.
Skill Level 5:
Kits for Experts
Kits that we have rated as skill level 5 require all the same modeling techniques and tools as skill level 3 and skill level 4. In addition, skill level 5 kits are often composed entirely of materials other than injection plastic, can contain many very small parts, often require extensive modification of parts to complete, and in some cases do not come with English-language instructions (Japanese only). Kits of this latter type require a degree of engineering common sense on the part of the modeler, as well as extensive test-fitting, to properly assemble.
Tools and supplies required to complete kits of this class are unchanged from those of skill level 4. Kits in this class are not suitable for small children at all. Children under 14, even if experienced, are likely to have difficulty with a kit like this if they attempt it alone, and even this may not help. Adults who have never before completed a model kit are advised to avoid kits of skill level 4 or 5 until they have gained modeling experience working with something less challenging. Examples of kits in this class would include resin and metal kits of racing cars and ships, accessory parts for such kits, and advanced, posable resin kits of science-fiction items.
Cement Required
This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.
A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT
Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.
No Cement Required
This item does not require the use of cement to complete. Some modelers prefer to use cement on snap-together kits in order to fix them into a particular pose, or make a joint more secure. However, this is not required to complete these kits.
Painting Required
This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.
While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
No Painting Required
This item does not require painting.
Either the item is completely pre-painted, such as an action figure or other completed figure, or it is molded in the colors of the finished item so that it appears natural after you have assembled it. Note that kits which are molded in their final colors will always look better when painted, even if this is not required. At the very least, a light coat of flat clear spray will make a science-fiction kit look much less toy-like after assembly. The same goes for some action figures as well.
