Fujimi 1/16 Ferrari Koenig Testarossa build log

Post by zaraf76 »

This is my first time making a build log and also first time building a Fujimi 1/16 car.
I've had this model in my stash for a long time and decided to start it due to taking part in GB on facebook which will end in december so hopefully I will do my best to finish it by that time otherwise progress will continue overhere if i don't make it by then.

By the few build logs on fujimi 1/16 kits, the impression is that the fit is not so good to bad.

Here, i present you the Fujimi 1/16 Ferrari Koenig Testarossa

I have started work on the engine. The fit was not anything like Tamiya but ok so far.

I had to glue some styrene so that the bottom part sits as it should. As mentioned before the fit was not good so some minor sanding was required.

This is last nights progress. I will keep posting as frequiently as I can but progress will be slow as I am a slow builder.
Thank you

Ya good luck :thumb2:
My F40 is on here somewhere, still incomplete :oops:
The fit is fine with these 1/16 Fujimi Enthusiast kits, just lots more detail opportunities as not curbside

Just went through your build log. Pretty impressive work you've done. I must say that my skills are lacking compare to yours but will do my best and may steal some of your ideas along the way :lol:

That user hasn’t been on site for a while. You could try a more, but not likely help.
Had a look for the instructions, best I can do is the normal testarossa..but that should get you started
Maybe do a build thread here and we can help you through it, I have done a few Fujimi 1/16’s now
