Very nice Mitsu.
I'd do the door panel lines and then it looks perfect. But maybe that's still on your list. Anyway, well done!

Looking very good so far.
Just do black lines and frames and it will be even better.

... on the Delecour car! Tommi was driving for Subaru in 2002 (and still is). Otherwise - not bad.

But I follow according to this Real Tommi Edition Evo

Guido · #11 02-12-2003, 09:48 AM

the thing is that Tommi Makinen did drive the EVO at the end of 2001, that much is true, but the car you made carries the stickers of the Monte 2002 with Francois Delecour as driver and Grataloup as his co-driver, so that's where the error is., fur us purists of course.

However, if you like your model like it is, and you enjoyed building it, well then there's nothing wrong with it!

Should do reference first. Look through the Rally XS magazine. But looks good, hmmmm....did you prime the Mit' Evo7?

Then you should have looked up some reference photos.
The photo you have posted there is the 2001 Evo 7 as Tommi drove it in the later part of the season, the one you have built a model of is a 2002 Evo 7 as driven by Francois Delecour on the Monte Carlo rally.
As was stated, in 2002 Tommi was driving for Subaru, the cars Tommi drove are the only ones that had Tommi on the hood as a replacement for the tobacco logos which were banned on those rallies.....the same season his team partner, Freddie Loix drove cars with Freddie in the places Tommi's car said Tommi.

Another thing, if you look carefully at your photo, you can see it says Tommi Makinnen on the drivers name on the rear side windows...

Ya... true... hehe now then I notice.... really done a big mistake here. Oh.. I didn't prime my Evo 7... i never do any priming before and i have never seen one. Show me next time when i visit your shop ok Rtune? Thanks.. by the way how much is the primer and have any new stock coming lately ??

Your model is nicely done but is a classic case to show one of the reasons I always prime a car body. The rear wing is translucent and almost see through in a bright light. Priming gives a model a more solid realistic looking model. Models that aren't primed always have a translucent plastic look to them,especially on lighter colors. Also the wheels need some detail painting(lugnuts and hub center)
