Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX

[joeyko2000]

Hi, there is a long time i have been out for car models.
so i get rid of those planes and miltary this time and back to car modeling~
I very fresh Fujimi kit it is as the molding is clearly enhenced a lot!

though, there are still some old problems. and first of all, right height.
i have adjusted both front and read suspension by about 2mm and it look like thi:


what i have done is simple. just mod on the suspension and lift it up by asheet opf plastic sheet.




and the result is liek this



the socong problem i hve notice is the dashboa and side oors... the dahboard is way toobi ad there i o roomto put the legs at al. so i cut the lower part a bit.


then i putty-ed the back of the seats


and scratch build the panels


and finally get some plastic sheets to replica a better door panal



and here is a completed door:



and the interior got painted right afterwards:


and it comes to the chassis:


and the suspension: i little wash is applied on the chassis and details things up a little


the front ride is lowered by about 1mm further:


and the seats are painted(but i doubt the grey tune should better be re-painted again...)



long been out for car, so i hope i still have the skill to handle it
welcome for any comments!
thank you!

Love what you did to get those door panels. Looks like a how-to candidiate.

looking really nice...cant wait to see it finished!
i like what u did to the door panels

[joeyko2000]

thanks all~!!!
actually i tested the cocpit on the car body and find out...
the height of the door panel is wrong!!!!>.<
anyway i enjoyed the process....haha~~

here is the update:
Painting process:
grey primer> white primer> Gunze #4+#58 (in about 2:1)> Gunze #4

This is when I have the #4+ #58 mix:

Appearantly it is not the yellow that the real car does, too much orange yellow i have put in, so i have to fix the tune of the color.

and i have a few thin coat of #4 to covering up


after all, it ends up like this...>.<

cant you just wet-sand that "orange peel" out of that and re spray it? at least thats wahat i was told you were supposed to do. other that that its looking great i love those door panels!

Great, this is what I call inner door panels!!

Great scratchbuild job on these

[SteveK2003]

Yes, don't get bummed: A polishing kit will make quick work of that orange peel.

[joeyko2000]

and seat also deceled


Since the body has bot been clear coated, polishing work will be done afterwards~~
