Fujimi Prelude any good?

[DuncanEK3]

Just the usual Fujimi kit check

Any hints as to whether it's any good?

Not bad but the chassis assembly isn't the best. Aoshima's is beter in my opinion.

I just got one. The body looks fine, but the rest is kinda ...

The dashboard and the headlight parts were badly warped. Also, this is a 'bolt-on construction' kit, meaning it's all assembled with screws...

Hmm, time to cancel that order then, I can't be arsed with warped parts

[supratuner]

i have the kit and did a lot of custon stuff to it, its a good kit in my opinion since i hate doing suspension and any real detail in the interior

I would buy it again

Don't bother with that, get the Aoshima instead!

There may be more but those are places I've seen them before; it's a hard ti find kit. Try Ebay as well.

I guess I'll be getting an Aoshima one too! I guess I'll get the JUN one.

hmmmm, I built the Fujimi Prelude 10 years ago, it seems all fine to me, and all the parts fit well, and I would say the ride height is pretty accurate, and the chassis is exactly the same as the 1:1 prelude. Also, my kit does not require any screws to assemble......maybe Fujimi changed the menu?

Here is the pics enjoy!






yes, it is dusty
