I
mentioned back when I finished the Lotus Europa that I had originally planned to build all four of Doyusha's
Circuit no Ōkami kits at once. I never did find Asuka's Lamborghini Miura, but with Fujimi's all-new series about to hit shelves I decided to go with what I had. Fubuki's Europa was a surprisingly not bad little kit, basic but very buildable. The second car in the series,
Ox's Lamborghini Jota, wasn't as good and needed several things corrected or replaced before I could get a halfway decent model out of it. Things continued downhill with Mishima's 240Z, which was so awful I put it back in its box and sold it on eBay at a loss - I'll happily use Fujimi's kit instead. It's probably all for the best that I never got that fourth and final kit: if the downward trend continued, I would have gotten a box with a bar of soap to carve. Instead, I switched companies to work on a different (but arguably no better) vintage kit and built
Peterson's BMW.
