Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII WRC

First up was using 0.7mm Aizu tape around all of the sections to be painted. The beauty of this thin...- Mr Bowcat

Evening chaps. :) Busy afternoon today. First up was seatbelts which although simple looking took about 3 hours. After that it was just a little detail painting, then sticking bits on until I had a rolling chassis- Mr Bowcat

Hi guys, I just finished up a 80's rally car and decided I wanted to improve my skills, so bought this as it was cheap at less than £20. So far I've just cleaned up the running gear, chassis and body shell, and got it in primer.- Mr Bowcat

Morning all. :) Finished this up last night. Nice kit, and I'm generally happy with the result although there were some mistakes. The real car would should be white, but I went with metallic blue as a homage to the Manta GTE I owned when I was 18.- Mr Bowcat

Morning gents, I got a lot of weathering done over the weekend. This mainly consisted of some light chipping, a darker pin wash around the lumps and bumps, some pigments on the exhausts and some minor streaking. I've held off on applying mud at this stage until I've sorted a base out so that...- Mr Bowcat
