Hi guys, It has been raining here in Sydney since last Saturday, perfect weather for modeling, well as long as your not spraying car bodies i guess. All is going well so far, no major probs.
I have started polishing and detailing the body, all window surrounds and panel lines have been blacked out. Since the window pillars were black i found that when i looked at the car there was too much black in the middle of the car and there was too much yellow everywhere else, so i decided to give the bottom lip of the front bar a full carbon fibre treatment.I have also added some finer Tamiya mesh in the front vents replacing the Hasegawa mesh which looked out of scale.
I also quikly dummied up a new intercooler with some styrene and bare metail foil to fill up the front mouth of the Evo, since standard kit intercooler was about a size of a toaster, this is not final yet i just wanted to see how it would look filling up the whole front end, i have seen some cars where you only see the core of the intercooler and not the end tanks. Do you think this looks right if i was to do the same on this evo?? im still to add the piping which you will be able to see in the on the left and right vents.
The rear wing panel also recieved the carbon treatment,just to even things out.
Thats it so far,im relatively pleased on that way its going, still a few polishing tweaks to do on the body, then i will get started on chassis and interior soon.
