1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX group N rallycar

Yes, you read it correctly; a group N rally car :biggrin:

I used a Fujimi kit as a base. I scratch-build the interior, including the roll-cage. The suspension was lowered and the dashboard was converted from RHD to LHD. Decals were drawn by me and printed by a friend.

Very nice! Nice photography as well!

Awesome job! Model looks great and is something you won't see everyday!

TW

The decals you made look flawless! :eek:

PS: What wheels are those you used or are they also scratch built them by yourself?

well done, I liked following that wip :) love Mitsu rally cars, (only biased because I own a Mitsu :D )

Flawless model, decals are great. You should consider on selling them, because i think you would have some sales!

Nice work, great modification & fantastic finish

Excellent result. I'd love to see more of the interior.

The wheels are Fujimi (NT-03), but with a twist. In the picture below you see the original wheel in the lower left corner. I only removed the "ring" to get the wheels I wanted (seen in the main picture).

Your seats are amazing! :cool:
How did you make that fabric?

awesome customization! I want to know how you made those seats as well :)

Seats were covered with an embossing-powder. The brand I used is "Ranger Ink"; they have a "super fine" powder which looks very nice (see here (http://www.rangerink.com/products/prod_emboss_superfinepowder.htm) for more details on the product).

it's a small thing but these are possibly the best panel lines on a white car I've seen in a long time.
oh yeah, the rest of the work isn't too shabby either...

yeah bravo on the decal work, those are perfect, and the panel lines are excellent i agree

Very nice! A well built model with some cool, selfmade decals to set it off. Very nice, keep sharing, please!

Thank you! For those interested I did those by heavily diluting Tamiya X19 (smoke) and then with a small brush letting it run into the panel lines. Repeat until you get the desired effect.

Another great build of yours.

I loved following your WIP and the end result is just brilliant.
It's always nice to see some mor unusual liveries, some keep them coming.

I hope to see this one live in Nieuwegein, later this year...

Waow excellent work !!
Paint of the blue spaces is so clean that the model looks better than any well made diecast !!

I hope to see this one live in Nieuwegein, later this year...

That should be no problem ;)
