Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI WRC

[MrBowcat]

Hi guys,

In my attempt to get better at cars I ordered this from Ultimate and got cracking.

So far I have painted the body, chassis, wheels and running gear and installed the running gear in the chassis. Oh, and I also built up the roll cage.

So far no major problems, although I did have to paint the air scoop twice due to a seam I thought I had eliminated first time round.








Cheers,

B

Don't think anyone could improve on the under carriage, absolutely beautiful.

Very nice work! It's looking great!

[MrBowcat]

Cheers guys.

Very nice start on this one, looks a fun build.

[MrBowcat]

Cheers Keith.

I did a little bit over the weekend. All of the remaining parts were primed and the body was given a clear coat in preparation for decals. I started these last night and got a few of the big ones down.

The decals laid down nicely and seem to have conformed well, although typically for Tamiya they are a little thick.

wow you have been busy mate, looking good

[MrBowcat]

Morning guys.

I spent last week cleaning up and painting the rest of the parts, so yesterday went about fitting the interior.













I also got my gloss coat down. It's not great, but better than my last attempt, and should look better after sanding and polishing.




Cheers,

B

Looking good mate, off to a really great start.

nice work MrB those belts make such a difference to the interior fiddly things if you have fat fingers like me
looking forward to seeing the lid go on

[MrBowcat]

Cheers gents.

Yep the belts were a steep learning curve. I realised afterwards that I should have singed the ends to avoid fraying.

[MrBowcat]

Afternoon lads & ladies.

Getting to the end of this build now. Since my last update I have painted the window rubbers, fitted the mesh grilles, lights, camera, glass & spoiler, and the body to the chassis.




Just a few last bits to add, then it's done.

Looking really good, love the searbelts. Not done a Lancer yet but going to add it to my list having seen yours.

[MrBowcat]

Cheers.

Calling it done, pics in the gallery.

I've decided to move straight on to another car to further improve my skills so have just ordered a Nissan Skyline R34 from Ultimate. Build to follow shortly.
