Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII WRC

[Mr Bowcat]

Hi Guys.

Calling this one done. Not 100% perfect (far from it) but my aim with this build was to improve my skills and learn some new ones, and I definitely think I have achieved that.

 

[PaulTRose]

nowt wrong with that

seat belts are really nice

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Paul.

There's a few things I could have done better, but it's all a learning curve and I can improve on those next time round.

Hi Bob
Looks good to me. Like many of us you're seeing faults in your own work which no one else can see. Very colourful and well finished.

Definitely looks good even better if it was spattered with mud

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers gents.

Bob,
That's a cracking result.

 

[Mickc1440]

That's a great finish Bob

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers guys.

Andy.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Andy.

Excellent finish Bob,
The paintwork and decals look spot on....very nice

I built the Tamiya Scoob a few years ago but didn’t turn out as nice as yours

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Si.

 

[Ian M]

One of my favourite cars.
Love the finish on that Bob. Maybe a few of its rivals on the bench? Would make a nice line up.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Ian.

I might well do a Scooby and some others of the era. I did previously build an 80's Manta 400 rally car - https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/1-24-belkits-opel-manta-400.36895/ and wouldn't mind building an Audi Quattro & Lancia Intergrale to go with that one.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Thats very nice, pre race as its very shiny and clean

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Steve.

Yes, my goal has been to improve on my paint and gloss finishes, hence the abscence of mud and dust. I'll save that for the AFV's.

No complaints from me.

The last time I built a car must have been about 40 years ago..... You can imagine what it looked like!

ATB.

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Andrew.

Not my normal fare either, just needed a break from AFV's and aircraft, and was a good excuse to practice some new skills.
