Shouldnt be to bad now that everyone is saying Fujimi retooled the body to make it look a little better. I think someone has already built a black one. Do a search.

I have this kit, i must say i wasnt too impressed upon upening the box and seeing it. Looks cheap with very few parts. They say new tooling etc makes the body on this kit better than the previous kits, well i cant comment on that since this is my first RX8. Try a search as ozstrider advised.

Good luck, Mike

They fixed the worst of the body flaws. The wheels are okay if you like that style. The chassis is oversimplified, and the interior design and details leave a lot to be desired. Yet as a finished model these flaws are not as noticeable as they are while constructing it. You don't see much of the interior on the finished model. If you like the overall look of the car and do a good job building it, the final result will be a very decent curbside.

usual Fujimi kit
lack of detail, fit problems, but with some work, it cane look very good.

Better than their previous attempt, replaced the rims on mine as I dont like the kit ones reall, only real issue with fit was the front headlights, I had to thin the depth and width to get them to sit properly under the clear portions.
