Re: help me pick which one to buy! =)

Hey,

I have both of these. But I would rather get the blitz chaser. Aoshima is always > than fujimi anyday. The chaser is more detalied in its parts. The rx-7's headlights do not pop up like on the box art, but does include the hood and side skirts, the rims are the ones I used on the re amemiya rx-7( http://img59.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img59&image=DSCF0071.jpg ) So, I vote for the Aoshima blitz chaser. Good luck!

Frank X.

Chaser. Nice overall Aoshima kit. Bad is the intercooler is molded into the front bumper.

The Fujimi Initial D cars are very basic, so unless you really want to build Kyoko's car, I'd get a Tamiya FD3S over a Fujimi FD3S.

The box art on the Fujimi one looks more intimidating. But then again those Fujimi Initial D kits are said to be a bit basic and Aoshima usually rules over Fujimi. Not only that but alot of great modelers have already built the Blitz Chaser, thereby giving you some nice reference and ideas to look at.
