I was thinking the same thing, im sure thats what Fujimi did its very close to the Nissan kit, i was tempted to mill down the nose but the amount of stuffing around with fit problems was enough to keep me busy.

I agree again with Fujimi's ride height issues. I'm sure that Fujimi's problem is that they use parts from older kits in order to make up the parts for a supposedly 'new tooling'. They will only make new parts as and when they need to. They sometimes even slip in parts that 'resemble' parts on the picture they choose to use for the box art. Although I uderstand that they are saving manufacturing costs (and it probably explains how they have so many new releases compared to Tamiya), I still feel cheated when I buy a kit and find that only 50% is 'new'.
I think Tamiya is the best, no doubt. However, I do feel that sometimes that their road going versions have too much tyre compared to the amount of wheel.
Hasegawa's wheels have got to be the smallest!!
Aoshima is probably the next best to Tamiya IMO.
