Galant VR4 Replcament Model : The First Gen Lancer Evolution

Lets talk a bit of history.. The GALANT VR4 is proven too big and heavy for the WRC events. Thus Mitsubishi's engineer decided to use the Lancer platform and transform it to a 4wd turbocharged rally machine. Thus the Lancer Evolution GSR is born replacing the Galant VR4 in rally events. It's a beast!


Galant VR4 is going away soon.. Evo's waiting at the back

Make way for me, Galant ! You are obsolete already!

Okay Evo, I am leaving... (What the hell, I am Evo Zero: thinks Galant)

OK, enough of jokes... Here is the first generation of Evo which I am proud of !
A simple and JDM style of the Evo One GSR..

Thats a nice looking EVO man

Great VR4! I used to own one of those, Who is the model company? Fujimi?

Great work Cham!! Super clean!

These are some great looking models. Some nice pieces of motorsports history. Good job buddy. So when is your Evo2 coming?

I like both these cars! Paint looks smooth and you chose nice colors for them! Galant VR4 is made by hasegawa and if I remember right so is the Evo 1. I had so much trouble doing body prep on the galant that I put it back in the box after half an hour of working on it. I built an Evo 1 many years ago but it ended up looking like a big failure. I still have the totally cleaned up body right now, but I lost it's wheels! I have no idea how to get the Evo1 wheels back since it has long stopped production :crying:

thanks guy !

mrsmorf, hopefully in these few months...be prepare to see the evo 2

kaho, both are from hasegawa. the hasegawa galant vr4 is a superbly hard to clean up model...took me ages to clean the body but still i didn't manage to do a good job. ok, kaho, pm me if you want the evo 1 wheels. i have another evo one kit ( conversion to evo 2 ) so i will be using the evo 3 wheels for the conversion and the evo 1 wheels are useless for me.
