Tamiya Lancer Evo VI WRC Rally New Zealand

Hi everyone, here is my latest build. Pretty much OOb apart from scale motorsport photo etch set and some belts made from leftover seatbelt kits. Hada bit of a fitment issue with the rear bumper but otherwise a fairly smooth project.

It looks good except the bumper fit. I always glue the front and rear bumpers to the body before painting. The body stills slides easily onto the chassis and you will not have the fit issues. You will also get a sturdier model and won't have to worry about gluing an already painted part which can end in disaster.

Yeah that's what I would normally do except in this case the rear bumper is painted white and I thought was going to be too hard to mask/spray while glued together. It was actually the chassis that was causing the issue, it was pulling the bumper away from square to the point where it broke the glue, it almost felt like it was too long.

Nice! Remember seeing that one back in the day

Nice build!
