Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

[iceracer1]

I'm back guys!

My first project is the Aoshima Lancer Evo X with Hobby Design PE set. Lovely kit btw!








I like the original wheels but not on this car. I replaced them for Volk Racing RE30's:



I chosed Rotor Glow for the body. It's an original color for the Evo X, but still pretty rare I think.


First I removed the plastic vents in the hood. I replaced them with PE ones.




Primed and painted:





Zero 2K Clear:

Meanwhile the paint is polished and is waiting for the windowtrims.

nice color combo! yeah that sure is a rare color for the evoX. pardon my ignorance though - the PE hood vents, i assume this is in multiple pcs that you still had to assemble and not a 1-pc affair?

Yes the PE vents are multiple pieces. It's way better compared to the plastic molded vents.

thanks. complex PE parts scare the daylights out of me. lol.

The Evo received the black bodyparts, and windows. I also added the PE frontgrille and trim. It didn't fitt very good but it still looks ok to me.







I also finished the interior. I used a red/black combination with a few BMF and PE parts.

nice update! one thing that bugged me with the aoshima evoX - even with optional LHD parts (for some anyway), it still had the molded-in footrest for the RHD config. oh well, it's something easy to remedy anyway

Thats one thing i always hate is when decals show the film around when out on matt or semi gloss. Excellent wip kris....bmf on front grill or is it pe (silver)?

it might not have been as successful as its predecessors but I really like the styling of the X.
you see them occasionally here in the UK and I always look twice.


I think I spotted an engine kit for this one so I've been collecting images for another long build....

Nice work. And I love that color.

the hobby design 4b11? looking forward when you start the build

I added seatbelts into the interior. It's done now!





I also finished the PE brakediscs.





Then I started on the chassis. I kept it simple and added a bit wheatering.






I added a red trim around the wheels. It's not boring grey anymore


Also finished the body.






Meanwhile it's finished, so I'll upload the photos of the completed model.
