[Calvin]

I'm currently working on a big project with Indycals and I'm in need of SHORT tail Fujimi Mclaren kits ASAP.

I'm looking for a person to make me an offer from the USA. I will pay via Paypal ASAP. Im not motivated to buy these kits from Japan on ebay as Im in a hurry

anyone of these would be a great help

thanks

Sorry, I only have one kit, the Ueno car, which I still plan to build. I’ve heard that the biggest drawbacks to these kits is the wheels and tires are too small. Will this be part of whatever you all have planned for this kit? If you create anything that will enhance my effort to build the 1995 LeMans winner count me in as a customer for this one.

The major problems with the kit are fixed with the new kit we are coming out with.
Its looking awesome 👌

I only have the road car and it had issues, too.

From my calculations, the rims are the right size but the tires are wrong. What it looks like is they calculated the sidewall height and designed tire with all the sidewall showing. In actuality, tires overlap the rim to give them a way to hold onto each other, so it is not represented right. Hopefully, that makes sense the way I explained it.

Actually the rims are too big. I don't remember the exact details, but it was something like the car ran on 15" rims and the kit rims are 16"

Update - checked my notes: the cars raced on 18" rims, the kit rims are 20", which accounts for about half the ride-height issues with the Fujimi kit. The other issue was that the wheel centerline is too low (probably to accommodate the much-too-large wheels). Here's a visual comparison of the kit wheels and tires to the correctly-sized wheels and tires:

Those are not the same wheels and tires that come wiht the race versions.

here's a sneak peek
it took me many times to work out the suspension modifications. There is so many points that needed addressing, even how the engine sat had to be modified.
