Pics, Fujimi Ferarri 348tb

I did this kit a while ago. I was very unimpressed with how it turned out. This was the second fujimi kit I've made, and I've hated both. Everything was very fragile and a lot of parts broke and didn't fit well. This was extremely frusterating to build. I didn't polish the sides much because I was afraid of damaging it. I wouldn't recommend this kit to anyone except people very experienced with fujimi and *light* hands

despite the many problems you ran into, it looks pretty darn good to me. well worth a look. only thing i would suggest is adding some black to the insides of those tailpipes. i usually shave excess plastic in the tailpipes by spinning my hobby knife in there. works quite well. but a spot of black paint will also do the job. great job overall tho

Thanks guys. I like the one shot that I put as my avatar

Yah, I should do those tailpipes. She'll get a partial overhaul sometime in the future. That or I'll get a different 348 kit. Does tamiya make one? This be one of my favortie ferraris.

You've done a great job on a 'questionable' kit.

Hasegawa makes the other 348 kits. They come with engines and p/e details. For a great example, see www.italianhorses.net.

Would you pick up the Fujimi 348 again for $6?

Holy shizziat! That's a nice kit! Engine detail too! It'll be nice to build up a spyder model as a change too. Thx, this kit definitly goes on my most wanted list

I guess I had light hand. I don't remember encountering any problem with either Fujimi or Hasegawa 348. Fujimi one was easier to put together, while I needed more careful dry fit with Hasegawa.
I like the shape of Hasegawa one, because it looks sharper, and it comes with the engine.

Just FYI, Hasegawa makes both the tb and ts. (I've only ever seen the ts, though...)

Did the hasegawa release come with any photoetched parts and carpet? I've noticed Hasegawa stuff usually come with these, but I personally prefer Tamiya or Fujimi plastic quality over theirs. Hasegawa plastic seems to have a soft, 'bendable' feel to it.
