Fujimi FC3S RX7

turbos86 · #1 12-18-2001, 10:40 PM

Anyone here build a RX7 FC by Fujimi before? I've had it with this kit! This one is the Initial D version which is the only time Fujimi has made an Infinte IV FC. BUT!! The bumper is totally incorrect, the front and side molding is all wrong, lines all over the body that's not suppose to be there, missing muffler placement hole (nice try Fujimi, but in Initial D, the car did have the hole even-thought it only has 1 muffler) The hole for the wiper blade is cover with a large piece of junk plastic, wrong ride height...too much to list...sorry, I'm being too picky.

So who has done this or a similar kit by Fujimi, I need help and Tips!!!

COol! FC website, thanks!!

Actually, this FC has gone throught hours of putty work..and it still looks crap. By hours I mean months of work.....everyday fixing it to discover new mistake on the model. I really will think twice about buying another Fujimi model.

Thanks for the help guys....had a tough day today. Sorry to sound so bitchy and annoying

You can build it for me

Who would thought 15g of putty can do so much!

I just placed order for these...

and I just came back from the hobby shop with these too... ahhhh

but turbo86.. one question..

what do you mean by the stuff that came with the Fujimi FC is not correct? my kit is kind of strange.. it comes with A LOT of stuff man..

like 3 different bumpers, 2 spoilers, 2 sets of interiors with 4 sets of seats, 2 sets of mirrors..

one of the mirrors are like the one in the real white FC picture too...
