Fujimi EastBear Silvia S15 ATTN!

[joecwlaw]

Guys, just want to let you know the Fujimi EastBear Silvia S15 is available now. But once again, very disappointed with Fujimi,
there is nothing significant difference from the previous S15 KITS, IT JUST DOESN'T WORTH 2400YEN.

For people who want to buy this kit, I highly recommend NOT TO BUY IT, see the below pic, and Fujimi removed the Side Skirts (Autech Version doesnt have side skirts as well), what A CRAP :finger4::finger4::finger4::finger4:




this is the part come with SpecR version


I wish Fujimi be acquired by Aoshima in the future, Aoshima improved its quality a lot. I just dont understand WTF the Fujimi people have in mind. :twoguns: :twoguns: :twoguns: :twoguns:

p.s. thanks to internet that we can BROWSE what contains in the kit before we purchase

They just are selling the same kit, without sideskirts?

thats strange....

Makes me wonder what's the Advan whatever RX7 gonna look like.

Add the missing rear spoiler too.

The kit looks pretty accurate to me. No side skirt, no rear spoiler etc.
How is real East Bear S15 supposed to look like? Not the one on the box?

I think it is accurate, but it is just a copy of the other S15 kits without a spoiler or side skirts in the kit.

Correct me if i am wrong though.

u r definitely CORRECT.

BTW, I checked the eastbear.co.jp homepage, the s15 aeroparts section is still under construct. But the S14 look very COOL......I think Fujimi just used their stupid imagination to create a s15 kit with eastbear license plate.

Hirofkd,

The point is that not whether the kit is inaccurate or not.

In my opinion, Fujimi "specifically" chose the East Bear knowing that they dont have to do any extra parts for it. Who knows, maybe the "tuned" parts for the East Bear are the non-visible ones (suspension? engine? interior? Dunno...).

Simply put, a lazy attempt by Fujimi (or many other companies, like Bandai who do Gundam models) to release new models without generating new parts.

I know what you mean, and also why he got upset. But unfortunately, that's a smart way of doing a business. Maximize the sales from the least amount of investment. Don't you think?
I can understand people being upset of not getting the sleek light in the Greddy 9 (me included), but in this case, at least the kit represent the box art.
Actually, the East Bear S15 should have an aero bonnet, but that's another story.
We just have to be careful about Auto Gallery series, because they just have new box and decal.
And as far as I know, none of the DC5 Integra has extra part.

How's the East Bear S15 decal? any scan? 2400 yen sounds awfully expensive, if it doesn't have an extra carbon looking hood decal.

Yes they do come with a carbon hood sticker......but i would rather make the hood matt black......

And for the DC5 and New Civic, Fujimi use the same parts for all the release......WTF

[Suislide]

the picture on the box is the generic Fujimi box art, turned red and with an added carbon hood. i don't what the hell else on this car is East Bear besides the lisence plate. not even a East Bear decal to put on the carbon hood. i thought East Bear was an aero-only company, so technically if they make an East Bear S15 it should have a complete aero kit. unless the carbon hood decal is East Bear...lol.

[RyanGiorgio]

What a bounch of bastards. Fujimi needs to get their act together and stop ripping us all off.

[hirofkd]

They haven't made a complete aero kit for the S15 yet, so I assume the mods are only on the internal components. Except(!) a generic looking aero hood, or light weight carbon hood, and that's what the Fujimi kit is based on.
Shame...

[daggerlee]

I wonder who gets paid more in Fujimi, the kit engineers or the graphics artists? Probably the latter, they do more work!
