Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 1
At the day that Mitsubishi announces a three year absence from WRC I am about to finish their EVO 1, Monte Carlo Version 1994. The kit is from Hasegawa. The decals (Cartograf) steel need to be added, as are a number of small outward bits and pieces. I built the seatbelts according to Hasegawa's instructions. There are photoetched parts for all of the metal parts of the belts but the belt itself is a thin red plastic which needs to be cut at a certain length. This is a quite annoying activity, and I ended up with probably much too long belts. and they lack proper weight to naturally fall down. The decals on the belt needed to glued on, as they would not stick in a normal way.
All in all it is a fairly basic kit, no engine detail, crude chassis, but I presume that the result will finally look acceptable. I painted the black roof lines by using the instructions from the window tutorial (by Dino) but I found that even using a very sharp knife resulted in not too clean cut lines, and subsequently the lines have ended being too thick, as I hand painted the irregularities. (with not 100% success). Next time I will probably use bare metal foil for this. The lines around the windows worked fine though.

How come the foglamps on that car have different coloured glass?

Shock, Horror! A 4x4 car that henk4 likes?
It was unfortunate that Proton spoiled the memory of early Lancers by giving them bad plastic surgery.

Anyway, here is the EVO again, after applying the decals. Still needs some detailing, but it looks quite OK now

did you use decal set or something to apply the logos. I hear using decal set can make the decals stick better to the model, is best for complex surfaces, and that it can fix chipping decals (found on AUTOart's older race cars and waterslide type decals), I don't mean tampos
