New: Tamiya 307 and Fujimi Murcie Roadster

[Dino Scuderia]

Peek in the box and note the very simplified chassis ala the JGTC 350Z:

Is the Murcielago curbside? I know the Peugeot is

[Dino Scuderia]

Both are.

i'll probably buy the Peugeot, so far I have avoided all the Fujimi Lambos.

Actually there is a top half engine in the Murcie kits that can be paint detailed to look good, I consider it more of a curbside but that isn't entirely correct.

I guess the bottom of the engine compartment is completely closed off.

Got both these kits yesterday.

The Murcie looks good and the updated rims are supplied as well as the old ones The windshield and A pillars are one piece...which is prolly a good idea as it prevents what would be very fragile A pillars from being smashed during packing/shipping.

The body is of course from a new mold and is much more polished than the stock Murcie body...it also has more sink marks.

The 307 is nice and has a lot of detail except for the flat diecast chassis which is getting alot of complaints from the detail freaks. One problem with diecast chassis is it's almost impossible to do any converting or customizing..for example if you wanted to convert the tarmac suspension to off-road

are you going to make the 307 like AUTOart Motorsport's 307?

If you mean the rally car, no.
