Awesome, I've been thinking about getting some zim zimmers for the stash ,just find it hard not buying another skyline or another jap import. Great video keep up the good work 👍

Great build.

Very nice.

Got one of these. I can outrun a real boat with 205 V6 on board motor like its nothing. Got a nice round lake thats perfect for laps at full speed

Hey Robin, Thanks for the honest review. About to start building an Abarth after seeing on in a car park while in Monterosso. Hopefully after test fitting, test fitting and test fitting again it will go together ok.

Other than the decals I did not have any fitment issues with this kit. The fact that the body is held onto the chassis with screws makes it fit better as you dont have to glue it down.

This is what happens when Britts try to build American car models lol!

Do yourself a favor and outline the wheels on molotow pen!

I built this kit two years ago and yes, it does have its challenges. The decals, particularly the trim lines that go around the wheel wells and windshield were a real pain to apply, and cutting them didn't help, so in the end I left on what went on and forgot about the rest. Like you I had some issues with the body and chassis coming together and I thought the body was warped, although I didn't pick up anything like that when I started working on it, and the screws didn't seem to want to go into the chassis. That was a real pain - so close to the end and all this drama crops up! However, this particular model Trans Am is a kit I have wanted since I was a child and despite all the issues I'm still happy with how it turned out.

Excellent build

Hi Robin, that is a nice weekend build kit. I have build mine in Mica Red and just made a bigger exhaust. For the rest stock,and it looks just good as it was ment to be. By overdooing sometimes things,the beauty of the car goes away. I like the real car like it is for 95%. And yours turned out very nice.

私もフジミ模型のBENZ190EV2を作りましたパーツがタミヤ製より作りがよくないです 貴方の作業場は素敵ですね👍💯収納棚が良いです、私も貴方の真似をして作ってみます 素晴らしい映像を見れて良かった、有難うございます♪JAPAN👍💯🎉🇯🇵

Nice work ❤......one of the classics.😊

I dont understand your critique of the kit!The first thing is,if you payed 50 bucks for that kit youre buying at the wrong shop,Next thing is you didnt put any real effort in building or detailing the kit and the 3rd point is it seems that you think that paint will cover your bad work!And today buying a kit without looking for unboxings or build vids in the net is....i dont have words!And the worst is beeing not able to make the difference between a E190 and a E300 Mercedes!This vid is imature and outright...(dont want to say it)🤣😂

The kit isnt the best out there but tbh you didnt put any effort in it to lift it up to a higher level. The paint is as bad as the kit itself

Think I'm correct in saying that the wheels were like TSW blades on the one's in the movie

Unfortunately it's the impressive E500 in the movie not the 190 But still an awesome car

Beautiful! Nice work! I love this car and the color! 👍💯👌

Fugi-e-me 😂

It´s a E300 in the Movie. It´s a bigger car than the 190E.

Looks truly awful

The only this kit is good for is the bottompart. Use that, buy at Spotmodel a conversion or transkit for the AMG 190 STATIONWAGON and build it. Then you get a goodlooking nice car. This THING, yes a THING is only good for a paperweight when you put some stones inside. The same as the Fujimi BMW M3, horrible things when they are done. Money wasters

Buy them direct from Japan, plaza japan is a good online shop.

Cool models. Have a great build.

is it really important to paint the car?

great work! thank you

Nice pickups, Robin.

Looking great in that color. I thought it was that Nardo grey,wich i don,t like. But this mica style grey is spot on. And yes it is a very pleasant kit to build. I have build 2 now. 1 in pearl white with 10 drops of clear blue mixed through the tamiya bottle and 1 in the new cobra paint from ammo, purple.And they look great. Still got 2 in my stash and the next will be in mica red. But that grey i think i will borrow that from you. This kit is the same as the Lexus LFA and the Mercedes AMG GT3, you cannot go wrong with them.They are falling into a great result without hick-ups.

Sorry this happened to you. Going to be building one of these as a replica of a friend's IRL car. Any tips to improve the fitment? Someone on the forums suggested shaving the undertray at either end but I've not started test fitting myself. Thanks and great job nonetheless!

Nice review and a really nice build. That color combo is right on the money!

Hi Robin. It is a goodkit from Fujimi,now and then you get a good one from them.I did mine in Deep Blue Metallic. The only thing was masking of that black above the engine cover,for therest i was a nice quick and easy build. 1 thing. The fog light on the front,i normaly put self adhesive aluminium kitchenfoil or hasegawa mirror foil in it before putting the clearparts in it. That makes it nicer. Also you can use the Molotov chrome pen for that. But you got it realy shiny. Top work on the polishing.

If it wasn't for the door handles which make this model look ugly, I would have bought this kit, btw nice work!

its a cool kit iv original version of it in stash sealed with alot my other gen evos but very cool kit

*Promosm*

Great work! I’m prepping the body and notices there was some bend and the rear engine hood isn’t lineing up right now that the plastic supports are off.

The surface...Will it look better after polishing? Looks a bit of rough there. Besides Fujimi's model really needs to lower its suspension LOL

there a awsome kit i had one in my hand in local decided that day id pick it up another time cause id picked up 5 or 6 cars that day couple new releases and few older ones hadnt been in stock for a while so I took chance saying ill get this next time but since then wasn't in stock then at model show here in Ireland last year summer time it was for sale i went ahead to pick it up walking towards it some little kid runs past me picks it up not knowing I was on way ha ha 😂to pick it up and he gets his Dad to pay for it and at 20euros cheeper than my local hobby store so im going to show early on the 1st day this year try my luck if i dont get it in local first or online for good price cool build 👍👍,Keith

what is the size of that prop?

What paint and color did you use for the red? On the body.

iv revelles version I don't know who braught it out first I believe tamiya did so reckon the revelle mite been a cast from tamiyas few differnt suspension pieces they mite changed to make it there own tool you know iv all RSR kits im porsche guy threw and threw from super sports car lists more porsche than any other kits instead of Honda maybe , but great stuff bro👍

Good and

Hey their nice build! You did decals then clear coat? Can you buff after that? Thanks

how do you get such amazing detail on the panels inside, its just incredible!

I hope mine turns out as well as yours did. Nice job.

love the livery on it iv the resin engine for this kit but iv the italeri version of the car in martini livery

this great kit i built this GT350 H MUSTANG GOES TOGETHER NICE

Great job rob

it's a great kit its older version I have done 3 but not this one cause wheels different also different ni1 calsonic I believe its 33 other i think is 34 but I like wheels in this bo I always see you guys across pond in usa or else ware from me in Ireland but i never get chance them wheels on boxart

I’m thinking about building the doors up with styrene and gluing them shut. The general consensus seems to be that the model was designed to be displayed with everything open. I don’t want mine open, and the interior is the last of the compartments that I care about having opening doors. If I ever get around to building it, that is!

Looks good to me! I have this kit in my stash, along with some other Aoshima kits, and I’m glad the doors don’t open. I have a couple of the Pagani kits, and every build I’ve watched, they say the doors blow, and they don’t fit properly when they’re closed.
