Mazdaspeed RX-8

This is my first post in this forum.
My latest project was this mazdaspeed rx-8 from Fujimi.
I had many problems with this kit, let me know what you think of the result.

Great work, but I'm not surprised that you had problems. I haven't had a lot of good experiences with Fujimi kits, particularly their RX-7 kits. They all use the undercarriage of an S15 and don't even get me started on the R-Spec kit with its upside down spoiler and gigantic side mirrors. :rolleyes:

Seems like they don't have a lot of love for Mazda. :frown:

i think the color choice is excellent, if you dont mind me askin, what happend to the mirrors?

Really clean, clean build! Well done!

Built the same model a while back in '05, made some mistakes but this car just does not look right, especially the front end and the wheel arches.

Yes, the front wheel arches and bumper are all wrong:banghead:.

Now, i have lowered the front suspension and it looks better.
