Allright guys, building my first 1/24 model and I've decided on the Evolution VII. Problem is which one. Please vote for your favorite. Mods, I know this is kinda OT but it does have to do with cars :p

Here is the Evo VII as realized by Mines Sport (its the one in the foreground):


This one is by Monster Sport


Here is the Ralliart Edition (official Mitsubishi tuner)


Here is the Puma one



This is the HKS Kansai Service one


And finally we have the stock Evo VII GSR

 

Either the Kansai or the all white Mines

 

bioyuki, who makes the Evo VII models you're choosing from? If there is a Tamiya amongst them, I'll probably pick one up myself to build.

Oh, forgot to share my own handiwork in that car model thread:



(That's one of the rare models that I actually finish. I have like 10 boxes sitting in my closet in various states of assembly. :P If I had a "masterpiece," it would be the unfinished Yamaha R1 that I hope to share with you guys someday.)

 

Tamiya doesn't have an Evo VII out yet. All the models posted above are Fujimi.

Goto www.hlj.com and do a search. They carry just about everything possible.

 

Uh. Oh. Hate to sound elitist, but for the amount of time that one puts into a model to make it look good, it isn't worth my (or your, for that matter) time to work with a Fujimi model.

Fujimi had came out with IS200/IS300 models, on release I had two shipped directly from Japan. The level of detail was just atrocious, and I wasted hours filling and sanding trying to blend the bumper covers into the main body for the correct silhouette. Even after that the wheelwells still didn't look right. I ended up shelving that one permanently and giving the other away.

(The AutoArt ready-made IS300 that you might have caught a glimpse of in the background of the Kure Skyline was a world of difference.)

 

Also forgot to metion: even before the Fujimi IS200/IS300, I had a Fujimi JDM Integra Type R. It too sucked.

 

Mines looks tight and nicely detailed.

 

Go with the Puma or the Mines - they are sweet!

 

HKS gets my vote

 

I like the Mines model.
So how big are these models when they are done?
And is Tamiya supposed to be the best in terms of detail?

I wouldn't mind trying my hand at one of these because I can use them to decorate my office.

 

I'd build the Puma.

 

How about a blue one?

 

Go with Mines!

 

Yes, I agree... partly b/c the Mines ones all have red "x"s......

 

OK, I can see it now.. that was weird. Anyway, the Mines is tight, but I still vote for the HKS.....
