FUJIMI
Review of 1/76 Fujimi, Japan
Historical information by Mikio Aida from Japan
Some of these kits are "Out of Production" or hard to find. Since 1988
Fujimi has also issued old kits from "Nitto" in their range.
Warning!!! Kit numbers are different. Fujimi has changed kit numbers
several times, deleted or re-released kits. Time to time you will find
kits with numbers from all periods, so the kit numbers are somewhat
chaotic. The kits with different numbers also have different box art.!
Indication codes are:- 250, 400, 500 & 800 series.
Fujimi is quite huge and complicated. There are on the boxes codes that
give an indication of the series. So there are series 250, 400, 500 and
800!
The 250 series boxes have a yellow square in upper right corner (WA
series). The 400 series are boxes in different colours with the misty
pictures. The boxes in the 500 and 800 series are white. The main
difference between 500 and 800 series is the size of the boxes! The 800
are deeper than the 500. Another easy way to distingish them is, on the
top of the boxes, if Japanese language is present, its an 800 series,
otherwise its a 500. For the Sturmgeschutz, the tracks are now in hard
plastic, but it isn't a generalisation, because the M4 105mm has still
got vinyl tracks. The models are a bit ancient, but some news surfaced
recently
(information posted by Christope Mechin)
Vinyl Tracks or Hard Plastic Tracks
The vinyl tracks from the Fujimi kits are from poor quality and bad detailled. The vinyl they used is from strange procude. The vinyl hardened out and broken quickly in several parts.
Info 2010 - Their latest kits include link and length hard plastic tracks. Be sure to check if the kit you are buying has the old vinyl tracks or
the new ones. Just a hint: the cheaper ones have the vinyl tracks.

Fujimi Kit-numbers - by Mikio Aida from Japan
About Fujimi kits, their numbering system is complex and something strange. So I made the file below about their numbers. At first please note
that after 1980's their each kits have two numbers, one is series number and another is product number. This system is common to many Japanese
manufacturers.
In 2010 Fujimi changed their numbering system again. Packages of new range are the same to 2000's kits but raised prices. Although 2000's issues are
still available, it may be possible that some kits become out of production when all stocks were gone.

same vehicle as Aoshima kit aos002322 - but not the same sprue's !!! - (There are differences !)

Short preview by Tino Werner
-The driver cabin of the Fujimi kit can be built with or without the tarpauline.
- The Aoshima cabin is fine engraved, but I think the Fujimi cabin matches more the real thing.
- The engravings of the Fujimi kit are in general deeper than the ones of the Aoshima kit. And so the board walls of the Fujimi kit look more structured.
I also don’t like the tarpauline for the load area of the Aoshima kit. Through the window openings you can see the thick molded plastic. Not very
realistic. The Aoshima load bed has a detailed bottom while the Fujimi hasn’t (It is without any structure). In general all small parts (suspension, etc.)
of the Aoshima kit look better.
-The Fujimi kit comes with metal axles.
And now the best - no, the worst!
-The frames of both trucks have different widths! (see picture 2)
-The wheels of both kits are also a catastrophy. They are not molded on the inner side! The Fujimi wheels are really horrible, even on the outside.
The Aoshima wheels are ok on the outside.
Conclusion:
I would prefer the Aoshima kit. But if you want to built a good kit out of the box(es) you should use the best parts of both kits (if they fit together).
As a result you will get one good looking kit and one ugly model kit. - - Tino Werner
