Several years ago, I bought a set of \u00a0four Fujimi Initial D kits from an auction on eBay. \u00a0They looked like they would make for quick fun builds. \u00a0Once I dug into the, I discovered that the bodies were molded as one piece with no separate pieces for lights or other smaller details. \u00a0The kits included crude stick-on decals that roughly represented the lights. \u00a0I was fairly disappointed with the kits and elected to only finish the FD RX7 since it seemed to suffer the least from the detailed lighting issue.<\/p>\n

I originally finished this kit in 2007 and recently chose to add more detail once I had a renewed interest in finishing two of the other kits. \u00a0I highlighted the indicators with bare metal foil and Tamiya clear paint. \u00a0I also painted the front lip spoiler and grill along with detail painting the wheels. \u00a0I also “lowered” the kit by clipping the chassis above the mounting tabs and gave the tires clearance by grinding the inside of the wheel wells. \u00a0I finished it off with an aluminum tube exhaust tip.<\/p>\n
