Stallion Sunday! Here we have a factory-built Ferrari Dino 206 GT from Japanese maker Fujimi. If you are an avid model builder, Fujimi should sound familiar. It is one of the major plastic model manufacturers in Japan. Unlike Tamiya and its Masterwork Collection, this 206 is not based on an existing plastic kit. It is an entirely different product cast in resin. This beauty came in a large presentation box. To my knowledge, Fujimi's factory-built resin line was short-lived. Enjoy!

Alright, I've be debating for the last 24 h whether to write this or not ... obviously I am doing it. Lu, hopefully you don't mind my critique ...
When I saw these pictures, I said to myself "this cannot be a Ferrari, something is wrong here", so I spent some time looking at online pictures... IMHO, Fujimi got the proportions wrong. Just the major observations, the rear fender is too low, the nose is lifted too high, the door is positioned closer to the rear wheels that it is supposed to be that make the windshield too elongated and the shape of the windshield is incorrect. Here is a picture of the 1:1 for comparison:
El Camino Tuesday! Here we have 1971 Chevrolet El Camino SS454 from Franklin Mint. Beautiful color; however, the ride height is a little off in the back.
