Hi Guys, here is my finished Fujimi Superamerica kit. Unfortunately it is far from being perfect, I had terrible time trying to make the windshield and glass-roof fit but didn't succeed as shown on pics. Did anybody build this kit: are those fit issues occured to anybody else?

Anyway, I replaced the rims and used PE parts, interior is black/beige, body is Rosso Corsa automotive paint. Thanks for your attention, here are the pics:

Tommy, it looks great. Bob Downie built one, from the RoG kit. I have a hard time believing it would fit better than Fujimi's though

I agree with everyone else though Tommy, put the top down and call it good.

What wheels did you use? I like them!

Keep those Ferrari's coming.

Looks like your roof and/or roof surround is warped in a manner that it's never going to match the windshield header. It's also common for the roof surround to be warped on the Revell kit, but the US version of the kit has plastic soft enough to easily get it back into shape w/just easy bending. I have 3 of the kits, one had a warp, the others are fine. The one I built went together quite well. This is a case where the better kit is actually Revell's. Fujimi does have some better detailing in a few areas, but Revell's is also full detail.

Just keep it with the roof open and you'll be fine.

I have both the ROG and the Fujimi versions and I pulled them both out and each one is just fine. They have different attachings points to the trees between them.

Thanks for the kind answers, guys! I will open the roof and put it on the shelf...
