thanks for the welcome

Welcome aboard!

No, it's curbside. The only FD RX-7 model with engine details in 1/24 scale is the Tamiya RX-7 R1.

I don't think that their are too many Fujimi kits that do have engines. Most of them are "curbside" no engine details. Too bad because some of their cars would be real nice with engines.

the Greddy Ameniya RX-7 you questioned about doesn't come with an engine, but it DOES come with a hood that's seperate from the body, so that if you got an engine from a Tamiya kit, it would be possible to put it in the car.

S13_Iketani - thanks for that idea!

another question.. do the Fujimi kits have good interior detail? like racing seats, etc

HAHAHAH!!! Don't you mean to say does Fujimi have ANY detail......heheh...Fujimi, detail. They don't belong in the same sentence.

so if wanted a detailed Greddy Ameniya RX-7 i would have to use the tamiya chassis and the Fujimi body... sounds like a cool project.

does anyone have a pic of the interior of a Fujimi car?

Some of Fujimi kits are probebly the most detailed kits ever. Have you ever seen (held in your hands) a Fujimi enthusiast Series model?

hold on a sec i'm confused. are they or are they not detailed? how detailed is the interior?

Welcome to AF. Well, this is what i think about fujimi detail. I realized, when building my Spoon Civic, the detail just plain sucks. Its all molded in like "blocks" and i've never made one with an engine.

But those kits were made primarily in the 80s. Most probably by a different team of engineers, too. Comparing them with a 1990 and newer Fujimi kit is like comparing chocolate to shit. The Enthusiasts, were the kits that caused them almost to go bankrupt because of the insanely high developing costs. Now Fujimi is all about simplification, and using the same parts for as many kits as possible. It's a dangerous attitude, one that I can see rubbing off on Tamiya with Tamiya's new Impreza STi and 350Z molds being overtly simplified.
