Looks great! Seeing this really makes me want to build the evo kits I have stashed away.

Nice work so far! The EVO 6 WRC machine for me equals rally. Remember watching Tommi driving it live. Amazing noise at full revs, and the stance of the car have left lasting memories. Will be watching your build closely! keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments!

WRCfan: Just like you, Evo 6 is also one of the machines that defines WRC for me (the others are Evo5, Celica ST185 and Impreza), as I started watching it on TV in late 1990s and fell in love with it instantly. Tommi Makinen is one of my favourite drivers of all time, as he is the only one who can drive Lancer Evos to victories in WRC events, from what I could remember. I would love seeing one of these cars in action live; it must be incredible.

I’ll post pics of the Evo 5 next time.

Cheers,

Nam

Updates on the Evo 5:

Masked off the white areas, and painted the rest TS-49 Bright Red again

The decal sheet by Museum Collection. Not too obvious on the pics below, mine was slightly defective as some of the “Winfield” letterings had really rough edges

Excellent start on both kits. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on these.

Indeed great work you're showing.

I too have several Evo's stashed away, so I'll be watching your progress closely.

What's the goo that's smeared all over the masking tape?
I suppose some kind of maskol or other masking liquid. But does that mean that masking tape alone won't cover/protect your model enough?

Yes indeed the green goo over the tape is masking fluid. Sometimes masking tapes do not stick too well, creating gaps between tapes which allow paint to seep through during spray painting. This had happened to me in the past, ruining my masking job. So nowadays I always put masking fluid on top of masked surfaces to prevent disasters from happening.:p
