Re: W.I.P Tamiya Mitsubishi Lancer VI WRC

Time for another quick update.I've been continuing work on the chassis today and assembling the suspension parts etc.

The front suspension.The top two bits I've circled took about 20 mins each side to mask up due to the shape.I used very fine strips of Tamiya tape and needle point tweezers to do the job.The bottom circles I used Black/Carbon decal for a cleaner finish.It was better than trying to mask them out and spray paint them.



The back suspension was equally as complex masking all the seperate colours and letting them dry before spraying the next.I used black/carbon decal again on the circled parts for a cleaner finish and because I found them impossible to mask out properly.



Here's a couple of overall chassis views so far.I employed the Tamiya weathering set again on the exhaust.Got a bit carried away with it too,but it's so addictive once you start you can't stop!!!!





I'll have more tommorrow.Hoping to get it on it's wheels and make a start assembling the interior parts and roll cage.
