If you look at the last picture, it look like yes...
Look good.

FINALLY they got smarter and figured people wanted the open holes for the mesh... now they are on the right track!

I strongly suspect that some of Tamiya's people defected over to Fujimi.

While open mesh doesn't impress me much (because it's so darn easy to make with a brass mesh), they just keep improving their kits (like the inner door of the Murcielago Roadster), they're like a completely different company now. Incredible.
Another new exciting release of the month is the RE Amemiya widebody FD3S. Way cool.

:iagree:
The F430 I put together fit as well as any Tamiya kit I've ever built. The body was fantastically molded, and all the parts were quite cleverly engineered. It may not be as complex as the Tamiya kits of old, but is every bit as good. The few details they do include are well executed, and their interiors have improved by leaps and bounds. There are a few little rough edges they still need to smooth over (taillights in that particular kit come to mind) but I think overall, they are turning it around. They're making well proportioned, easy to build kits, that even have good ride hight straight from the box! Way to go, Fujimi! I am looking forward to more kits from them.

The only problem now is that Fujimi needs to get Tamiyas distribution here in the States!!!

Oh, and also in April is the Super America from Fujimi.

Well, there ain't many parts are there? It sure isn't an ES kit ;)
3 part seats? Flat packaging strategy? Like IKEA?

I can't follow your enthusiasm willimo. Looks like you spoken about the fujimy and I seen the Revell kit: but I have the fujimy and, yes I'm happy bocouse it's the best 430 we'll have but it's one step back from Tamiya 360 and almost 2 from the enzo: i'm talking about brakes, interiors (smooth, not sharp) and body (not cripy as Tamy stuff).
However it's the best we'll have just now. And yes it's well shaped and easy to do, may be too much easy ;) (engine?)
Last thing: costs: Fujimy stuff cost too much. 430 and maranellos cost approx 40 eur (48 usd) here, much more than a Tamy 360 and like a Enzo.
Anyway I love that subj. and when I can I'm more than happy to buy that stuff (SSSSSSSSSSSSSuperamerica you're mine!)
