I bought a Fujimi Mini Cooper this past Christmas, with the idea of building a replica of a stanced out Mini from here in Sweden! It's not going to be a perfect replica, more my own interpretation of it, but most of it will be the same. (These are not my pics, they are borrowed!) Already from the beginning I wanted to keep the front wheels' steering mechanism intact but get a lot of negative camber at the same time, which meant that I couldn't change the geometry in the front easily. So, I decided to go the simple way and make a small piece that would push the wheels out, give me the right camber angles, but keep the rest of the geometry and steering mechanism intact. And since the real car had a set of BBS RS styled rims, I obviously went through my spare parts and found a nice set of rims that where the right size and roughly the same design as the original. Compared o the stock Mini wheels, the new ones are slightly smaller, which is good actually! Here's just a quick mock up of the wheels, angles and fitment. And the steering is still working. The rear has more negative camber than the front. Yup, a lot of weird tire wear going on here...

I'm building this for a friend as a birthday gift. The kit looks quite awesome, it contains a lot of PE parts, doors open etc. I started with building the brake discs and sanded them to give them more realistic look as they are carbon ceramic on real car.

Hello This is a basic Fujimi curbside. Model fits perfect no problems with construction . Only issue I had was with the paint. I will try to rub it out one day with that Tamiya Stuff. Hope you guys like. I will take more pics when I get the chance. Thanks for looking.

Here is another Porsche from my stash. It will be black with Grey interior. First nice day off that I can spray. Here is the box Art. The Kit Wheels Body before paint. After paint. for some reason the paint seemed to go on hazy on the top part of the body. All comments Welcomed Thanks for looking.

Hey guys! This is my first post in under glass even though i've been looking this site almost a year ago. The number of things I leaned is incredible! So Here it is,The Fujimi Lancer Evolution 5 1998. Build OOB,with white rims and flat black wing. The color is Tamiya's brilliant orange. Pictures were taken from my friends Iphone,but i swear ill get some better ones for the upcoming builds Hope The pictures will show up,if so,enjoy

Paint is Zero Paints "Blu Abu Dhabi". Built using the Ferrai configurator to check options -- carbon sills and "driver zone", privacy glass, Daytona seats and some Alcantara in the cabin (OK, just various shades of grey and black). There are things that Fujimi could have done differently (and they are things that I'm sure Revell will do differently if/when they get an F12 into production), but overall, I really enjoyed this build. I don't think the simplifications are really visible now it's finished, and personally, I don't find the stance, ride-height or wheels/tyres at all offensive. And I have one on my shelf now, not sometime next year! bestest, M.
