Commissioned build: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III

[iceracer1]

A new commissioned build came in last week...

A cool Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III.





I ordered a kit from a Belgium salesman. It was sealed and brand new. And for a reasonable price. This kit is pretty rare and very expensive on ebay and other forums.






The wheels on the real Evo will be replaced for Ultralite G-Spec wheels soon. I searched them in 1/24 scale and found them at Aoshima but they are very huge! I also thought I had a simillar wheel in my Fujimi Evo IX modelkit. So I dryfitted them and they looked very nice.







The color will be Fayence Yellow from Porsche:



This should be fun!

See plently of these on our roads down here at the bottom of the world. Still a popular car!
Cant wait to see how this one turns out!!!

Got married, honeymoon, carpfishing, driving my motorbike and other hobbies are the reason I didn't posted anything the last weeks. But I'm back guys.

First I sanded the body and primered it:


The fayence yellow I got in mind didn't looked like yellow at all and was totally wrong. So I grabbed a little Revell enamel can to spray the body. It was a bit strange to spray a whole body since I don't use this paint for bodies. I only paint little parts with this paint.
But somehow it looked good and I was able to clearcoat it on my marriage day






I also painted the wheels in white and masked them to paint the red trim. I also clearcoated them.





I also masked off the body to paint the windowtrims. And I painted the clearparts with Tamiya clear acrylics.










Last week I spent time to do the interior. It's basic and simple. I just added interiorflocking in a different color cause otherwise it would be too much black.






Now it is time to start on the chassis and fitt the wheels.

looking great! the silver on the lamps, is that BMF?

[iceracer1]

Yes mate this is BMF. The best way to make the lights really reflective

I made a custom exhaust made from styrene rod and a part of the original exhaust.





After that I wheatered the chassis and painted the exhaust with Alclad paints.







Meanwhile it's finished, so I'll upload some pics of the completed model soon!
