[MOC] Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX (1:12) Tokyo Drift

[ArtemyZotov]

Hello everyone! 

I finished another FF car in 1/12 scale - Sean's Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX.

Scale: 1:12
Length x Width x Height: 40 x 17 x 12 cm

Features:
- detachable body
- steering wheel connected to the front wheels with a control knob
- working 4-piston engine
- openable bonnet, trunk and doors
- full independent suspension
- authentic stickers

The doors have dual arm hinges which will be shown in the upcoming video review

As you can see, this time I've finally managed to add suspension to the chassis in this scale. Mostly because the hood is higher than in the previous cars I built. 

The engine bay goes with some details inside, including an engine cover (red), a battery (blue), a strut bar between the shock absorbers and a hood support rod.

I used claw part (53451) as spokes to add an interesting look to the wheels, matching the design from the movie (the wheels were black with a metallic ring outside).

A video review will be released later with the RC version.

Very great job on this build. Certainly the mechanicals are just as they should be, but I'm most impressed with the patience it must have taken to get all the bodywork details just right. I love the grill, and the details on the wheels are such a great idea.

Well done.

I'm just impressed by the way Technic and System bricks have been combined. Normally I'm very wary of mixing them, as the result will easily look jagged and just wrong. But here it works. Very skillful!

Looks stunning! Particularly like the way you've shaped the front and rear wheel arches.
