Completed Fujimi Lexus IS350 with reviews

Hi, recently I have completed the SLR kit and I challenged myself to complete 2 kits at one go! They are the Lexus IS350 and Ferrari 575 Maranello both from Fujimi.

Experience from the Fujimi Lexus IS350. Some plus and minus points but overall, Fujimi has give us a good kit.

Some minus point of this kit. Height is a problem and one small portion of the tail lights suppose to be clear orange instead of clear red, Big Lexus logo decal and the car plate frame is mold on to the front bumper.

Other than that, the car is quite easy to do. Lights were improved. Tail lights are mold in clear red. Good looking rims, nice looking body and I was surprised by the nice patterns of the car seats done by Fujimi.

I have taken some photos for my "Fujimi Lexus IS350" under Fluorescent light setting. The body of the IS350 is sprayed in Pearl white colour and clear coat.

Lexus IS350 - 100% done!
Ferrari 575 Maranello - 99% done (Waiting for the arrival of the "metal" Ferrari decals)

Thanks for seeing. Would like some feedback too. Cheers!

13 photos in 500 X 375 pixels.

Very clean finish. I also really dig your photography technique... gives it an artistic touch.

Hi i think there is nothing wrong with the wheel housing. The kit has problem fitting with the chassis. Maybe when i took the photo. It got stuck somewhere

Wow, it would be great if Ferrari and Lexus added you onto their payroll. Great job modeling...or would it be great job marketing of their cars? Keep on building more!!!
