Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 WRC - WIP

Finally I started one bigger project. It' will be Mikka's car from Artic rally before couple years.
I will follow Phil's great model as guide for my model.
I'm still working on remodeling fron part of car.

Phil, am I going in right direction?:smile:

Great paint Zeljko. Also good to see you correctly painted the interior white. :thumbsup:

Thank you Phil! Did you receive my mail from AF?

Not yet Zeljko, I'm at work at the moment so it is probably waiting for me at home. :)

Hey Zeljko, great work. BTW is that a 206 in the background?

Hey Zeljko, great work. BTW is that a 206 in the background?

Yes, my 206 but only SW, not RC. :)

Having another look at the pic of the red painted bodyshell and I'm puzzled by something - what is the red over the right rear light cluster?

Oh, that is only masking tape left after painting. :-)

Here are first decals.

Are there more of the corrected Mitsubishi Sports decals around...? I also have one of these with this decal set waiting to be built...

Glad the decals arrived safely Zeljko, I see you had no trouble applying them in the right places. :)

ata, the corrected decals are just the "Motor Sports" logos printed in a cool grey rather than the silver of the S27 sheet. I sent Zeljko the leftovers of when I made mine.

Foot rests are covered with CF, wire is tube for brakes, suspension is still in painting. Brake disks are from Pug and I must modified it to me smaller for my car. Radiator is covered with PE and painted.

Really Nice work :bigthumb:

Thank you Steve!
Do you have any idea what to use for making tubes which goes from radiator to engine?
I know that you have expirience in that things, so any advice is welcomed. :-)

Little progress because I'm waiting for some aditional parts. More interior and exterior, cooling tubes are on radiator.
Aditional interior references are always welcomed. :-)

More progress, body is clear coated. But photos are little ruined in resizing.
On one tank is PE set instead molded one, and on another are belts which I made from masking tape.

Looking good Zeljko. Do you use two part urethane for the clear coat? I'm sure I've asked you that question before but forgot the answer. :screwy:

Yes Phil, same as always. :smile:

Some work before holidays.
http://www.scaleracecars.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3394

Does anyone know where to pick up decals for this car? I can't seem to find anyone that has them anymore. I guess they all sold out.

Wow! Looks great so far. Keep up the awsome progress.

Frank X.

Very nifty Zeljko! Guess your going to have the finished car displayed on jacks?

Yes, I will try to make it with at least one wheel opened.

Little more work on disks, and on seat belts.
Both still in rough work, on seats are new CF high definition.

Oh, the tricky world of seatbelt attachment!!! I've still to perform this task - maybe sometime in the future after I stop putting figures inside the cars :biggrin:

Anyway, looking good Zeljko!

Just to show that I still work on this model. :smile:
One seat is finished.

After long time, some pogress.

"Box" is on it's place, I just need to put these cables on their places.:smile:
http://www.scaleracecars.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3821

More work on dash. Switches are made from wires again, while PE parts are just attached to show it. It will not be visible latter when I paint it.

http://www.scaleracecars.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3924

Looks promessing! Keep it up!

Looking good Zeljko. How you going with connecting all those wires and straps? :)

this is really turning into a great build. i love the body. will be a real show stopper when you are done.

Already on places, but I went even slower on that project because I ordered wheels for it. I need spare wheel to continue work. :p

Just arrived Reji snow tires and wheels. I think that wheels are maybe little wide but that can be corrected. I just made quick cleaning on wheel to check it.
I'm not sure about tires, what you think?
Tires for moder cars should be like this, and they are not:

This ones looks like they are from 80's.

Zeljko, they remind me of mud and snow Dunlops from the late 70's early 80's. Normally for road cars however they were used as cheap alternatives in club rallying. I have seen resin full snow tyres somewhere which would be correct. I just need to remember where on the internet I was.

Other than that, I am impressed with the attention to detail you are showing. How is the other Mitshi going?
