First Tamiya car Evo 6 - Completed

Finally finished it. I am qiute pleased with it for a first attempt at a Tamiya kit but I guess the real decision will be made by you folks. Hope you like it. Looking forward to moving on to another one a bit later.
I have attached a peak of my next project at the end. Bit disappointed with the detail in the photos as before I reduced them the car looked a lot better. It is a pity that the blurriest photo is the only one to show off exactly how shiny it really is. Came up like a sheet of glass after polishing but poor photos have it looking really rough nad grainy when its not.

the yellow in the interior made it looks a bit sucky, should have left it just blue and grey. Other than that its nice.

Yeah, I don't really like the yellow in the car. The green paint looks really nice.

Car looks good, but...the interior. When I first saw the yellow, I thought it was resin or putty correcting/modifying the front seats. A suggestion, next time (or now if you want...if the body isn't glued on) spread the yellow out a bit more...to the door panels, dash board, center consol, back seats etc..

Other than that, great job!

Why does everyone call that the Evo 8?! I really don't know what the diferences are between the Evo7 and this "8" aside from the bumpers and the clear taillights. Could someone enlighten me ?

BTW, your Evo 6 is cool! Love that colour, but IMHO that interior is just a bit "too much". But a great job, though!!

Thanks guys but as I stated in my original thread (not this post) I wanted it to be different to everyone elses. Have a good look through all the other posts with blue Evos that have Interior shots - they are all clones. Just boring old bog standard blue and grey.
I actually copied the seats from a real Evo 6 owned by a security gaurd at my work and beleive me when I say it IS the only yellow in the car.

Asmenoth; Thanks for the suggestion to spread the yellow out a bit more with examples. I will keep that in mind for my next one (not neccessarily Yellow of course). As one of the older people that hangs out here I rely a lot on suggestion and real cars for my inspiration. Thank you again.
Tony

Wow that looks great. I agree with the comments about the yellow perhaps spoiling the interior, but it's not that bad and does make the model pretty unique. Just not how I would do it personally. Then again variety is the spice of life, eh?

That green colour on the other Evo looks awesome, look forward to seeing that one completed.

It's an Evo 8. If you look close at the front bumper, where the Mitsubishi badge is, you can see the side of the triangle that bisects the grill. Past Evo's had the badge directly on the grill. I am guessing it has something to do with American "safety standards"...probably strengthing the front bumper or some such.
