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

Not to brag or anything, but I have a 1:1 20 footer.  It was only after I looked at them did I learn many are one-way, as in from China and dumped here or wherever.  Thought I got all the models I wanted, but now I want this.  😅

The door hardware, just like with model cars, looks minimal.  That would be an easy scratch-build, to make working latches.  😏  Much like with tanks and airplanes, they are serial numbered, with specifications on the door, I added the Square Feet line just because.  The VIN# plate is on the left door, which is on all the numbers on each side and the top, mine is 222244.  I removed all but what you see here.

What I see looking at the pictures:
1. Mine has only 3 lock/latches.
2. Roof on the right.  Green has the extra lock box, can see on the sprue, orange does not, easy detail to add.
3. Four lock/latches are one piece with the levers.  Here is the perfect opportunity to have Photo-Etch! 🤪
4. Mine has 4 vents on the side, and the doors and other end.  Now I see what the problem on length is, the green corners stick out.

5 - 7.  Those corners are the problem all sides.
8. The bottom, they use huge forklifts .... is there a kit for one?  The green one is incorrect, or not like mine.  I looked and saw daylight at the other side.  I blocked to keep varmits out.    I don't have the wide hole opposite the doors like the orange one.

9. Perfectly illustrates the problem.  They can't have different designs mixing in, the Germans proved that during WW2.

Hondamatic's picture, I don't see locking hardware, so yea, this would take me forever to build. 😅  Could also make out of aluminum newspaper printing plate (not roof flashing which breaks when bent more than once).  Then you have to make the locks, and if I were a contest judge, would know where the holes are at the bottom.  If you really wanted to super detail, copper wire tie downs.   Yea, think I'll pass. 😉

Are there any US sellers that carry them? I would like 1 or 2.
