Very nice Mitsu.
I'd do the door panel lines and then it looks perfect. But maybe that's still on your list. Anyway, well done!

Looking very good so far.
Just do black lines and frames and it will be even better.:)

What's with the Tommi logos?

... on the Delecour car! Tommi was driving for Subaru in 2002 (and still is). Otherwise - not bad.

But I follow according to this Real Tommi Edition Evo

the thing is that Tommi Makinen did drive the EVO at the end of 2001, that much is true, but the car you made carries the stickers of the Monte 2002 with Francois Delecour as driver and Grataloup as his co-driver, so that's where the error is., fur us purists of course.

However, if you like your model like it is, and you enjoyed building it, well then there's nothing wrong with it! ;)

Should do reference first. Look through the Rally XS magazine. But looks good, hmmmm....did you prime the Mit' Evo7?:rolleyes:

Then you should have looked up some reference photos.
The photo you have posted there is the 2001 Evo 7 as Tommi drove it in the later part of the season, the one you have built a model of is a 2002 Evo 7 as driven by Francois Delecour on the Monte Carlo rally.
As was stated, in 2002 Tommi was driving for Subaru, the cars Tommi drove are the only ones that had Tommi on the hood as a replacement for the tobacco logos which were banned on those rallies.....the same season his team partner, Freddie Loix drove cars with Freddie in the places Tommi's car said Tommi.

Another thing, if you look carefully at your photo, you can see it says Tommi Makinnen on the drivers name on the rear side windows...

Ya... true... hehe now then I notice.... really done a big mistake here. Oh.. I didn't prime my Evo 7... i never do any priming before and i have never seen one. Show me next time when i visit your shop ok Rtune? Thanks.. by the way how much is the primer and have any new stock coming lately ??

Your model is nicely done but is a classic case to show one of the reasons I always prime a car body. The rear wing is translucent and almost see through in a bright light. Priming gives a model a more solid realistic looking model. Models that aren't primed always have a translucent plastic look to them,especially on lighter colors. Also the wheels need some detail painting(lugnuts and hub center)

That's what I'm going to say. Translucent.:rolleyes:

it looks kinda fake for me.. not real.. did you polish and everything? maybe its because not enough light in pics

hey psst Ray, it's Freddy not Freddie ;)
but don't tell anyone I say that... j/k

just buggin you.

:D

Hey Guido,
I don't really care.....he's not that great a driver.....:p

I second that Ray, but he's a great guy, met him once and had a beer with him ;)

Anyway back to the topic,

If you do racing or rally cars, a good research of the subject is what you start with. Books, magazine, the internet are the places to look for good materials and if you don't find anything, we are still here to see if we can be of any help! :angel:

I hope this is a good lesson, but don't be too upset about it, we all make errors. Keep up the good work! ;)

I agree with Guido, you can ask him how annoyed I get when people build cars incorrectly:rolleyes:

If you are lost for reference material, don't hesitate to ask, even I ask about some cars on occasion and I have always gotten useful and accurate answers, right here on AF:-)
