Before and after, in the last photo the usual version of the EVO 6, the other front bumper and wheels, the rest of the model is the same.

Really well done Segey !! All of the little tweeks you've done to it made a big difference...

And of course the photography is outstanding.

Cheers

Hello and glad you liked it. 

The main value is a huge 40-50 hour work on finalizing the panel joints (build-up of body panels with the features of painting and sanding varnish with polishing), only thanks to them the model looks ... realistic (the experiment turned out to be successful), the rest of the improvements are insignificant.?

Hi Sergey! Amazing model and that paint job is magnificent. As you said, sanding and polishing the varnish does add the depth to the paint job that makes it look so realistic. Very well done. Needless to say, you photography is amazing, specially the background of the firs two photos.
