Welcome!

Be glad you got the Greddy RX-8 kit and not the RX-7, it's horrible....but in either case get your skills sharpened before you tackle the Fujimi kit.

Welcome

On another note, Dino Scuderia, you know anything about the Fujimi Ferrari 512 Berlinetta Boxer kit? Someone has offered it to me for free after seeing the Gt3

As far as I know Fujimi never made a 512BB kit, have any pics of it?

Fujimi kits are difficult to build because of their poor engineering, the RX-8 kit isn't too bad althought where they chose to seperate the front end makes it difficult to have it looking good once it's glued in place. Fujimi kits are always a surprise, th problems will be different from kit to kit but there will always be problems. Test fit everything before you paint and glue.

What kind of paint is the pink? That will determine the type of stripper you'll need.

Looks like it might be an older kit, perhaps not made any more?

Oh, okay, I forgot about the 1/16 scale. It's a decent kit.

Cool, well he's sending it today (from the states ). Can't complain as I'm not paying a penny for it
