PowerPlant Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I realize there are plenty to choose from out there... Made by Revell, Italeri, Hasegawa and Fujimi, in various versions as far as I know. However I recently purchased Revell's ts (targa) version, and immediately noticed inaccuracies in the interior, specifically the seats and center console. I do know Italeri's kit is pretty much the same, but I was wondering how the Japanese kits compare in terms of interior detail? Thanks in advance MATIJA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The Hasegawa kit is an extremely nice full detail kit that includes a photoetched fret. I haven't gotten around to building mine yet but it looks like it should go together nicely. Interior detail is very good and provides a good basis for superdetailing. Alex Kustov did a beautiful build of this kit on his site at www.italianhorses.net. I can't speak to the accuracy of the Fujimi kit but their kits from this period are a mixed bag at best.

As stated, the Hasegawa kit is the way to go for a 348. I would pass on the Fujimi, I've seen the kit and passed myself when it first came out.

Tonioseven Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The Fujimi is nothing to write home about at all I've built one and am almost done with another one only because I like the way the paintjob turned out. I got the kit for $2 so I figure I can use the practice. The rear window area is problematic as it doesb't fit correctly due to being of the wrong shape. The body looks alright compared to the 1:1 but it's not perfect either. The Hasegawa is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerPlant Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thanks for the replies, guys... I sure will look into the Hasegawa kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerPlant Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 From what I can see online, the seats and center console on the Hasegawa kit aren't much better than Revell... What I do prefer on Hasegawa's kit, however, is that it includes a removable targa top for the ts version. I think I'll just stick with the Revell kit I have and try make the best of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
