Fujimi F1

Post by frpaxton »

Does anyone know if it is possible to get replacement Fujimi parts?
I'm building the 1/20 MP4/5 (Belgium) and while I was putting on the rear tires, the whole gearbox assemble let go and i ended up breaking the rear suspension pretty bad. I don't really wan to scratch-build it, but will if I have to.

Thanks.

Also I'm new/not new to the forum. It's been years since I was here and my old account must be archived or something.

Hi Frank,
Am not sure if it's easy to get hold of
Fujimi replacement parts maybe only in Japan.
I reckon better option is to get hold of Tamiya gearbox parts, maybe get some to 3d print one!

3D printing hadn't even crossed my mind!

Thank you for that suggestion!!

Try contacting Mac at macsmodelling. I broke a front suspension arm on an FW14B kit and he was able to get me that tree from Fujimi.

Mac is a very good friend of mine! I used to live in the Phoenix area. Spent a lot of time at his place. Super guy!
