Latest Addition to My Evo Collection : WRC Evo 5

[cham2020]

Finally I finished it.. This is my 3rd rally car after the Evo VI and the Proton PERT. This is quite tough to build and lots of painting required. I weathered it ( I am addicted to dirty rally cars ) and I find it lovely.. There are flaws though during decaling and I touched up a little... The only thing I didn't apply is the seats rear CF decal. Rest it is OOB.. Lovely kit from Tamiya

The chassis

it looks great! particularly in decal application. a thing that bothers me is the weathering. isn't the rally car supposed to be dust & mud dirt look-a-like weathering rather than oil (black) dirt? well i'm not into rally car, so pardon me if i'm mistaken. nonetheless, it's up to ur preference cheers.

Good looking model Cham! I think the weathering is ok. Even on tarmac rallys the cars can get really dirty (Monte Carlo Rally) and the dirt is quite dark. Maybe giving it a little "dirt spray" with your airbrush would make it look more realistic. Also good wheatering on the undercarriage, but i think the protection shield on the front is missing.

Nevertheless nice model you built.

thanks stradlegroove and mrsmorf. glad you both like this model..

on second looks, yeah it seems the weathering is a bit too dark. i will keep this model like this for future reference. thanks

yeap, the protection shield for the engine and rear suspensions are missing. because i took quite sometime to paint all the paints on the chassis and covering it doesn't give justice...
that's what i feel

Excellent work as usual! Weathering looks great
