Building Ryosuke Takahashi's Initial D FC3S RX-7 Model Car Full Build Step By Step (ASMR)

Jun’s Mini Garage

This FUJIMI kit is no longer available so I will recommend a better/more detailed kit(with Rotary engine and suspension parts!!!) by Aoshima: https://amzn.to/3nX2nTR

Hey guys in this video I will be building a 1/24 scale Initial D FC3S RX-7 model car by Fujimi, this is the famous white Mazda FC RX-7 driven by one of the main characters – Ryosuke Takahashi in the anime/manga. I have only watched a few episodes of the first stage of the anime(will definitely finish watching the rest) and it seems that Ryosuke had a few versions of the FC throughout the entire series. I believe this kit is a replica of the very beginning stage of his FC. About the kit, it isn’t exact a super detailed kit, there is no engine just like many Fujimi kits, and there aren’t even any suspension parts included, there are many flaws but at least it is a fun and simple kit to put together. However, if you are a fan of Initial D and would love to build the FC then I will recommend going with Aoshima, it has much better details and fitments, which will make the model building experience more enjoyable. Anyway, enjoy the build video and feel free to subscribe for more contents.
