The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV made a mark in rallying with its tough performance on varied terrain, notably at the 1997 Safari Rally. This Hasegawa 1/24 kit reproduces that rally car in PS plastic, focusing on the shapes and features that defined its competition appearance. The Evo IV's strong chassis and AWD layout are echoed in the model's stance.
Parts arrive with crisp mould lines and defined surface detail to mirror the real car's bodywork. Key features such as the front grille, vents and rally-spec rear wing are represented, and decals are supplied to recreate the event graphics and sponsor panels.
Expect a methodical build with small components and careful fitting. The instruction sheet breaks down assembly stages; experienced hobbyists will appreciate the kit's accuracy. Remember that paints and glue are required but not included.
When built, the model presents well on a display plinth or shelf, offering an honest scale representation of a classic rally machine. It works equally well as a standalone piece or grouped with other 1990s rally models.
