Fujimi MR2 SW20 COMPLETED
Hi Guys
Im about to comple my first model after a 2 year break, and it felt great to finally finish one, i will post pics up once i finish some minor polishing and other bits. This was a trial run before i start any big projects, im a little rusty in some places but im pretty happy the way it turned out,anyway its got me thinkin of maybe droping an engine into one of these Fujimi kits. I have a spare Tamiya GT4 kit at home and i can use the 3SGTE engine out of it and scratch build the whole rear end of the car, I own a 95 GEN 4 MR2 Turbo so at least i got something to refer to, I did a search and couldnt find if anyone out there has ever atempted to do this. any thoughts?? Most of you guys seems to know your Fujimi kits, the one that i built is actually the Glimited version GEN 1&2(NA) where the engine lid is flat even though fujimi packaging states that it was a GT, compared to the Turbo version which is raised,does Fujimi still make the MR2 GT T Top? so i can match the correct engine lid. heres some pics

Thanks for the comments guys, i was pleasantly surprised how it turned out since i havent really touched a model in years, but now i got lots of ideas and projects , i hope to contribute some of my work in the future.
The engine conversion is still in the planning stages, it wont be going on this model, this was just a quickie to get me back building again. i also need to track down the right mr2 kit for the conversion since i want to model a GT Turbo but as far as i know fujimi no longer produces this kit since the front bar and rear engine cover are different to whats produced now.

Re: Fujimi MR2 SW20 Engine Conversion
really, Fujimi stopped making the Turbo MR2 bodies. i nearly ruined mine and was thinking of chucking it and getting another kit, but i think ill keep it now.
