Time for inspiration.

Uh, I thought it was a Fujimi kit, not a Jada diecast

Au contraire, mon frere, Jada extraodinaire.

I'll bet that transverse engine FWD setup really improves the car a lot

That's what you call a photochoppers shortcut.

Hmmmm.... I see some rotary madness in my future...

"Jada" as it is, and unloaded though the driving wheels may be, at least the fender flares really MEAN it this time.

Hey Bob - is it me, or do these Fujimi kits just not show up all that frequently on The Mag's review lists?

The new bB kit also has the springy suspension, and it looks like it's got a tab setting to adjust the ride height.

Toyota bB Styling Package Ver.A Fujimi 1/24 ID-127

No 1.5L 1NZ-FE motor, though.

Edit:

The new Toyota Estima has besprunged suspension too, but I can't really make out what's going on at the top of page 2, step 5:

Toyota Estima G/X Fujimi 1/24 ID-8

I'm sorry but I don't get all the hype. It's just a Miata. Isnt this the car that women buy and call a sports car?

HAHAHAHAHA

Someone hasn't ever seen these race. Or driven them. Or... anything.

WTF, Jeff??

Dunno...looks like if I printed this beast I'd have to print it on rice paper

I guess Fujimi is stingy with review samples; if the mag's get 'em, they'd get reviewed. I just built Hasegawa's Fairlady Z432R for review, and have a Tamiya SLR on the way for another.

That's interesting. Wonder why Fujimi would hold 'em back.

Yeah, Trumpeter was a bit slow with their Monte Carlo, so I started on my personal kit to get the review underway, and The Mag replaced it when they finally got their sample.

You like your Fairlady as much as I liked mine?

Loved building it. Hasegawa's got it going, that's for sure. Wish they'd do more.

I'll post other pics of it after it's published.

OOOO-oooh...

Sweet, Mr D. Ver-ry sweet!

Men buy a Miata because it's a sports car. Women buy a Miata because it looks cute.
