    Mitsubishi FTO

    Bought this in a little shop in Chinatown in San Francisco. There was no plastic sealing, but all the parts were there (according to the checklist) and was a steal at $9.95. But my oh my has Fujimi deteriorated in quality. Oh well, it was a fun build and despite a bit of 'finessing' it came out all right.
    Finished in TS-58 pearl light blue.

    On to the next one.... 1994 Ford Escort Cosworth RS Rally #6

    There is 3 people on a boat with loads of children running around it, the 3 people are: 1. Bob geldof, 2. Ozzy Osbourne, and 3. Micheal jackson, they're sailing out for the G8 live aid, they've hit a rock and they're sinking, bob says: "save the children!" ozzy says: "Fuc the children!"

    Micheal says "have we got time?"

    They're difficult to find, too. Be forewarned that Fujimi kits have a tendency not to fit together well. You'll notice that the headlights aren't even symmetrical.

    Looks alright, except for the exhausts!
    It's not how fast you go, it's how much fun you have getting there

    Anyone who buys a car now for around 30,00 pounds and doesn't buy one of these is either mad, or boring.

    Can't be worse than the Bburago Dodge Viper I assembled- that thing was priceless!

    The engine wouldn't go together, and the stripes were transfers. Not good for young hands!
