20ft Container in 1/24 from Fujimi

[carsntrucks4you]

Today I got the first kit of the new container series from Fujimi. The scale is 1/24 or so. There will be a total of 5 different colors of the 20ft Container. I had to build one of them and compared it with the Italeri 20ft container. 

The level of details is better compared to the Italeri one. Specially the doors are much better. On of the container sides can be either be in transparent plastic or in green like in my case. The major issue with this kit is that the container locks stands out of the shape of the container body not within the structure. This means that it is al tleast 2 mm or 0,078" too long compared to the Italeri container, And this is the reason why it doesn't fit on the Italeri 20ft container trailer or the DMTC 20ft container trailer. So we are modeller's so it should be an easy takes to modify the container. Here some pictures. The orange container idsthe Italeri one.

Is there a clear side panel? I thought I saw one at the hobby trade show

Yes it is

Looks more like modern containers that I haul with the locks set up that way. Although it looks like it's the same height as the older Italeri container? Which is a then-standard height; most are high cube these days. Depending on pricing these Fujimi containers might be a better option for splicing together a 40', 53', or 60' container... 😁

I agree and those are cheap, around $20 plus 10$ shipping and import tax in Germany
