lghtngyello03 Posted October 15, 2019 Well I finally finished this one up. Despite all the troubles I had with Zero Paints and some fitment issues with the resin parts I’m pretty satisfied with it. It is a Mitsubishi Evo 6.5 Tommi Makinen Edition. The kit is a 1:24 scale Tamiya Evo 6 with Hobby Design Tommi Makinen detail-up set. The body is primed with Tamiya White Primer, painted with Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red- shot through the airbrush- then cleared with Zero Paints 2k Diamond Clear, and also has a Hobby Design Muffler.

I’ve never done one the length of the car then shot clear over it. My nerves were kind of shot afterwards ? 1 hour ago, Nacho Z said: Wow!! What an outstanding job!

olschoolkid Posted October 16, 2019 That's a nice Evo you built. I think the red really pops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was afraid the Tamiya Italian Red wouldn't look good and be too dark. I was really bummed that the Zero Paints color didn't work out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrm Posted October 19, 2019 The subject is not my cup of tea, but the skills are undeniable, no matter the theme of the model. Great job on the paint, looks very sharp and clean. Impressive undercarriage. Not overdone and simply fantastic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This one tested my patience in certain areas, and it’s also my first time doing decals this large as well as the slight chassis weathering Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedfreak Posted October 19, 2019 Very nice indeed. Is the camber in the rear wheels part of the kit design? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I decided to give it a little camber on the rear since those cars are setup from the factory with some for handling. They didn’t look right sitting straight up and down Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
