    On Fujimi...

    As henk said, the enthusiast models were incredible, but be warned, they're rather difficult to build if you're inexperienced, but I would recommend you go buy one soon, as they're slowly dissapearing from store shelves.

    Recently a friend bought a Fujimi RX8 and had me put it together for him. Total crap. Poor quality molding, poor fit, and inaccurate in many levels. Not even an engine bay. Not recommended unless you NEED an Rx8, in which I believe Fujimi only builds.

    enthusiast is a series starting with no. 8200. Scroll down the link and you will find an overview, note that HLJ only has one out of the series currently available.

    You'd be able to tell if you saw one. Either it's a Fujimi in Revell packaging, or on the box it has Fujimi in unusual cursive lettering and just looks old. I believe it does say 'Enthusiats Series' on the box, too, but not big.

    It does, indeed. The Dino was also released by Revell ages ago.

    when going through my "to build" pile (no future dates attached ) I found a Fujimi Enthusiast model that had a small leaflet of this series, with a lot of the available models on there. (The Stratos was issued at a later date)
