Hi all
When Fujimi presented this construction kit, I was really looking forward to it. My disapppointment during putting components together was immense:
1) tha back spoiler is too long
2) the edge of the door and connecting wheel arch make no sense /I did not find this model anywhere else/
3) the system of the door is not done well (they are either closed or opened)
4) when the door is opened, it is necessary to do a lot of work on the cockpit (the attachement of arm belts is not solved)
5) due to problems given in 3) , the windshield does not fit when the door is closed
6) the side windows in the door are made according to a civic model, so it is necessary to file the frame which is not a part of the racing model of the car
7) after completing the car resembles more to the model from Dakar than Le Mans
Based on the above I cannot recommend this model , I prefer Aoshimi.

Looks great, I know it took a lot of effort to get there.

Even so it still looks good. the ride height can be fixed. I am working on the FINA version. The tires need sanded flat and the fronts need the inside shoulder
rounded off and the tire needs sanded smaller. Then the suspension needs lowered front and back. I laso removed part of the base of the windshield that goes under the body so it would sit lower.

A list of corrections confirms that the model is wrong.
Such failure should not have a refurbished model from a manufacturer such as Fujimi.
