Fujimi Mercedes SLS Safety car -TYPO!!

[exhaust smoke]

I just received my new Fujimi Mercedes SLS Safety Car kit through the post today. As usual, I looked over the parts, instructions, etc. What did I find? Fujimi has mis-spelt the word 'Safety' on the decal sheet!!! They have spelt it as 'Safty' on the decal sheet and is in big text too! Bit of a major cock up there Fujimi!

Shouldn't it be the typical mistake a serious brand would correct by reprinting a correction set...??

That's a pretty epic misteak.



Y'know, they showed that model at the hobby show (was it in September??) with that incorrect spelling...and nobody noticed???!!

It is pretty stupid but that lettering looks like common Arial font and would be easy to make and print on decal paper.

Hobby Design do have a Safety Car detail up set for the Revell SLS, but the Fujimi kit is expensive enough without having to pay more to correct Fujimi's mistake. It should be a simple enough DIY fix.

The stupid thing is that the word 'Safety' is spelt correctly on the kit box!

Fujimi doesn't use quality control.

When saying "a serious brand" it was ironic and I was precisely thinking to the one responsible of the mistake !!
If she is serious Fujimi should correct the mistake.

Well, hopefully they will correct it...

I doubt they have anyone who's in charge of QC. They released 3dr Golf with 5dr interior, switched around the 458's front and rear brake calipers, and just released a brand-new 1/72 F-15E kit which turned out to be approx. 1/67 scale.

Anyway, I've heard that Fujimi is going to hand out a replacement decal sheet soon, so whoever received the incorrect decal should contact the seller, or write to:

There's no guarantee whether they can spell your name correctly or not.
