Re: New release Fujimi F430 GT2/GT3 ????

This car is such OLD HAT.
WHY are Fujimi doing it?????
It's already been made (quite decently) by Revell and various others.
PLEASE Fujimi - do something NEW that hasn't already been made at least 2 years ago by several other manufacturers!!!
To be fair, the same applies to most kit makers.
We just keep getting re-hashes of the same old cars, with different decals.
BORING!!!!!
Mind you, when I saw GT2 - GT3 in the message, for one horrible moment I thought it might be a Porsche!
Now that really WOULD be boring!!!!
Roy.

Re: New release Fujimi F430 GT2/GT3 ????

Arguably the best racing 430 livery ever! But the actual Super GT contender is the GTC, not the Challenge. 2011 season was epic in terms of weirdness with Miku Z4 vs. Ika-musume 430 vs. Haruhi GT3-R vs. Evangelion 01 Shiden vs. Evangelion 02 GT3-R.

Unlike the challenge kit which was a huge improvement over the first street version, this time Fujimi went cheap and just added a wing to the Challenge kit, instead of doing the correct GTC body which could have opened new possibilities for other liveries. But then Fujimi isn't marketing this kit to enthusiasts like us, so the inaccuracies really don't matter.

Without maximizing the return on investment with the release of variations like this, there won't be any new kits, or very limited like the certain company T.

I think that sometimes Fujimi tries to score some points (with this new GT3 series for example), even they did not be doing the correct things all the time. But instead they waste time reissuing things like this F430 version, Fujimi could be able to use their Ferrari license casting more impressive models, like the Ferrari 599 XX Evo for example. This is the tactic that Aoshima is using, and is working for them.
