Fujimi Evo 8 Progress

Hi guys. Finally had a chance to do some more on my evo 8. Had to have a trial fitting. Have started on the Interior and chassis and decided what wheels I want on my car. Sorry about the dust on the dash - should have blown it off. Also included a shot of my next dual project.

Sorry guys I cant get the Interior shot to transfer over from the Gallery so if you want to see its progress you will have to look there.

pretty good start old fela
look forward to seeing them finished

Thanks Dave. What are you working on?

looks good...kinda looks like the 2 fast 2 furious color.

Very interesting colour for a EVO :smokin: :smokin:

Love the green! :D

Wow! Excellent paint job! :thumbsup:

That looks great man. I'm guessing it's a Fujimi?
Keep us posted. I can't wait to see this car finished.

Great job on the paint!!

Looking very clean man, did u lower it? or is it the stock ride height? I am doing some research on this model.

Thanks Shorty. No it is the stock ride height.
I was going to lower it but I wouldn't have been able to put the same rims on it as it would have caused all sorts of problems with the rims touching all the suspension parts underneath which would have meant modifying them and I didn't want to go there just yet.
The wheels look on a funny angle in the rear shot as they were just pushed onto the axle wire but it is the height it will stay at.
P-Man - Yeah it is a different colour for an Evo. I didn't want to be a clone(not clown) and do one in a colour that we will see over and over again. Its Tamiyas TS52 Candy Lime green.

I'm currently working on a Fujimi Evo VI and I've got a similiar problem with the wheels looking not quite right. I think the chasis and interior tubs are the same going back all the way to thier Evo III. :rolleyes: Glad to know its not only me!!

nice colours can't wait to see them finished

The paint looks amazing. Especially on those skyline bodies. How do you get it so damn shinny!? :eek7:

Well its finally finished! Took me long enough, god I hate work taking up my hobbytime. Finished putting BMF in the lights and flocking in the interior.
Couldn't make up my mind which wing to put on it - the standard Evo style or one of the Aoshima GT wings so I didn't put any.
I am happy with it as it is now so I guess that is all that really matters.
What do you folks think - good and bad welcome.

Awesome! Can't think of any possible bad comments! It just looks great! No wait a minute. Where's the muffler? It's hidden a little. Well if that's all there is... I like it wingless btw!

very nice job! I reckon it would look awsome with a wing and CF detail! :D

oh no, altezzas. :D



the green is stunning :)

well done nobby didnt know you had it in you
like it the way it is nice to see a model without a wing
you did alright for a senior citerzen :sorry: :lol: :lol:
well done tony

Looks great. You did a great job, but I'm not feeling those tail lights. I know that those are the ones that come on the car though.:(

great color! looks awesoem wingless

SMOOOOOOOOOOTH paint jobs !!!

Mike :sunglasse

Cheers Dave. I didn't know either. It gets harder to see at our age doesn.t it!

I know what you mean! they just dont look right with just a painted spot for the lights.
I saw a post somewhere where the builder put alloy tubing in and modelrailway reflectors in the tubing. Will have to see if I can find it and work out if I can change mine over.

Thanks for the comments guys.

i like them rims, nice job overall

Very clean! That green rocks. The wingless look is sweet. The only thing that might bug me is the tail lights, a little on the rice side. Still a very cool car! :smokin: :grinno: :grinno:

Nice build Nobby, that green looks awesome, don't it !!!!

I'm going to have to add one of those Evo's to the wish list.....
They look good.

cheeres stump :aus:
