Good part of Fujimi is that they have so many variations to choose from, but that's also the negative part, because the mofified reissues aren't so great.
You MUST consult with other AF members about Fujimi kit, because some are so bad.

Yes, some of the Fujimi kits that come with the resin body kits are just aweful. For example, the fujimi 300zx veilside kit. It comes with the veilside body kit parts that are made out of resin. That's not the bad part, the bad part is that the kit doesn't fit on properly. The side skirts are not long enough for the body.

Also, the Fujimi Altezza Explosion kit has the same problems as well. I dono why they even bothered to release the body kits when they don't even fit. But then ofcourse most of their kits are excellent and do not have that problem.

Before I purchase a Fujimi Kit with mods, I usually try to ask someone first before I purchase. I always ask Rob at tinyimports to give me a quick review of the kit before I purchase any "Fujimi" Kits. He's usually very helpful. Kits like Tamiya and Aoshima I have never had any problems with. But that's just from my experience.

Fujimi

I've never had any problems with the Fujimis or Aoshimas. But from what I can see there might be some fitment issues with a Fujimi kit, although I've never seen any.
