Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI, Tommi Makinen edition, Tamiya 1:24

[kohula]

Hello, I recently finished this kit.
Standart kit from Tamiya + Hobby Design transkit on Tommi Makinen edition. Nice kit and transkit too. But I had some problems with fitting the front bumper.
I lowered it a bit on front and used new whells - Enkei NT03 18inch (Fujimi).
I´m happy with the result, but photos are better than the model

Hi!
Good job with the kit.
Would you mind explaining your difficulties with the front bumper?

I have 4 different transits for this Evo 6.5 bumper, the Hobby Design looks like the most realistic.

thank you this transkit is surelly the best for this EVO. Bumper fits nicely, but I didn´t like the panel line between the bumper and hood. Hood was a bit longer, so I sanded it. So I was probably my fault. But there is some other mistake.. Front lights are need to be shortened on the inner side. They fit badly to the bumper mask. But clear parts fit perfectly. Anyway these modifications aren ´t difficult.
