The reason for the coloring is not so much to do with the mud and dirt issue as to do with identification in the pits......it saves time as there is no way of confusing the left side specific parts with the right side specific parts, parts that are the same you will notice are the same color left and right side. When you have to rebuild a suspension set in under and hour, everything that saves time matters....hence the color code.
Ironically, nearly every WRC rally team out there uses the system without exception. Great job Daggerlee, I am busy with the Evo V and only hope I can get mine near as good as yours when it is complete......I can't wait to see the rest of yours. Ray

Aw, don't say that
 Really I am not too satisfied with it but when I do the Evo 5 I will have a better idea on how to tackle the colors.Ease of changing suspension also came to me as a reason, it's nice to see what sort of inventions necessity breeds.

woo
I got done the window trim today. Here are some pics of me doing it.
 Lots of masking!! Tamiya tape was used as it doesn't leave a residue on the model like some other tapes.  This is what you get for using precision control.   I think real plastic surgeons and us "plastic surgeons" have a lot more in common than we'd expect. This reminds me of those movies where the surgeon slowly removes the wrapping from a patients face  Voila! Just need to add panel lines, decals, and a good car wax. Clean hands too after using some non toxic hand cleaner. Unfortunately hte seatbelts I ordered won't be here for another week or two. Also, this kit does not include an extra fifth wheel to put in the back seat, despite including enough decals to do so. Wonder what I'm going to do about that..

Dan,
The good news is WRC cars don't have a back seat so you don't need to put a spare on it, only Group N rally cars do (Just getting smart on you  )Actually, if memory serves me, the spare on this car would be in the trunk, the only time they carry one behind the driver/co-driver too is on the Safari Rally. If you have photos to prove otherwise, than I admit being wrong.....I often am.... Hope you get them seatbelts soon, I am looking forward to seeing the completed car, you even have me working a bit harder on mine now!!  Ray

Not so. The spare wheel in sedans is usually "between" the trunk and the rear seat - probably to help weight transfer.
Dan - good work edit: at least that's on a previous generation scoobie. In Evos it seems to be right behind the seats.

Hey, I said I could be wrong:silly2:
I never paid too much attention to the Lancers, I am a Scooby fan, and I could have told you where the wheel on the Scoob is..... I don't mind you guys correcting me, since I am willing to learn, sorry for being misleading..... Another thing, would Tamiya really release a model so incorrect (I admit I have found some discrepancies(sp) on the 2001 Scooby's), but I would imagine they would have the model pretty accurate for the rally it is based on? Do you think NZ would require multiple spare tires? I do notice the photos are from a gravel event though....cool I think gravel is the best. Ray

Got the decals put on the body today. This project is going to be put on hold until my seatbelts arrive.
 Since this rally took place in New Zealand and p-man's from NZ, the panel lines were done with him in mind. :alien:

Dan,
Why did you put the Carisma decal on the car? I don't believe Tommi ever drove the Carisma car, I was of the impression that it was Freddie Loix that drove the one with Carisma on the rear quarter? I know I am prone to being wrong but this is something I feel pretty certain about...... Otherwise, I think the car looks good. Ray
