Fujimi 1/24 Ferrari 458 Italia Model Kit Review

[@freddaniali]

Great review. Seems like it has detail that is better than the Revell kit...

[@eastsider85]

think i'll wait for a tamiya kit (hopefully soon) if not fujimi it is

[@ELPModelling]

+dead pool You'll be waiting a long long time for Tamiya to do this model!

[@stevewatts3502]

Cummon, surely it'll be hard to even register those wheels with that Mona Lisa caliper and disc set-up going on in the background. What's with Revell and a kazillion parts for an engine you can't see... Fujimi, 5 parts? lol.

[@ELPModelling]

+Steve Watts Lol I don't mind the engine being a bit on the simple side with this, like you said you can't see it anyway!

[@TheGameBoy56]

Just bought this kit never built it yet but it is my fav car in the world except for my amx LOL

[@ELPModelling]

+onebad slotcar Awesome! I'm not a huge Ferrari fan to be honest, but I am partial to a 458! Especiale the Speciale :D

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

To be honest, i think it is overpriced(atleast everywhere that is not china and japan). I bought it at a modeling convention for €20,- and pretty much only becouse of those wheels. In every other aspect the revell kit is better. Full interior detail full engine etc etc...At a fraction of the cost. Another great unboxing elliott!

[@ELPModelling]

+The Scalemodeling Channel I think the wheels aren't one of its strongest points to be honest. The tyres well you know how I feel about those lol! I much prefer the interior of the Revell, I may get one and see if I can combine some of the parts. I did buy a detail up set for the two 458s but I won't be using the wheels. If you need them let me know

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

+ELP Modelling lol, would love an extra set of those wheels and tires! Contact me on [e-mail] and we'll sort it out!

[@ELPModelling]

+The Scalemodeling Channel Will do mate, I'm doing an unboxing of the set in the next few days, it should of been before this video but as always, life gets in the way!

[@finchgould6538]

+The Scalemodeling Channel / Usually, a Japanese kit is at least twice as expensive in Europe or America as in Japan. But if you paid 20 euro for this kit then you were really lucky cause that's the exact Japanese price! In Japan,this kit is actually a little pricey for a basic Fujimi kit. For the Revell kit one would probably have to dig really deep to find one here...

[@niteowl7710]

It seems a great deal of the Ferraris that Fujimi does that duplicate a Revell AG kit are very basic.

[@Kikolad]

Speaking of Fujimi Ferrari's, do you have the Testarossa Koenig Special?

[@ELPModelling]

+Shakotannn I don't I'm afraid :(

[@user-lc6ki8xz5s]

Is it tamiya?

[@corrioliseffect]

I like the kit very much, but I haven’t built mine yet. It’s a shame Fujimi’s Ferraris are so difficult to get. And at $42 US, it’s also overpriced. It’s such a simple kit. It’s practically a collector’s item at this point, being that they are perpetually out of stock everywhere I look.

[@TheGameBoy56]

Ya I love the specials as well but it's another 200 thousand on top of the 458 pice which is not cool for wat u get lol

[@4CRBON]

transkit eh, am I sensing an LB works Ferrari being built here 😉😉

[@ELPModelling]

+C4RBON 94 No comment LMFAO

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Good Lord, that tan color! When my kids were babies they threw up that color! lol Seriously, there are several 458 GT-3s that race in the Pirelli World Challenge, which is my favorites series. I'd love to build a version of those, but...ewwww! lol

[@conradsmith9332]

You paint the models any way......

[@lambtony3317]

it sucks that its not painted like in the box

[@conradsmith9332]

No model kits are painted. That is the point of them.
