Product Information

Full details

The Fujimi Tokyo Monorail 2000 Series (STR-17 EX-1) is designed for intermediate model hobbyists and railway enthusiasts who want to recreate the iconic transit history of Japan. Its primary benefit is the high-fidelity representation of the six-car formation in 1/150 N-scale, offering a precise foundation for diorama integration or collector displays; however, potential builders should note that the kit comes unpainted, requiring personal investment in model paints and assembly tools to achieve the final, authentic look.

Troubleshooting

Parts not fitting together flush

Check the sprue connection points and ensure they have been filed smooth. Verify parts alignment according to the instruction manual.

Paint pooling in fine details

Apply paint in multiple thin layers rather than one heavy coat. Use a primer before the base coat to ensure better adhesion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly detailed molding ensures professional-looking results
  • Complete 6-car set is perfect for diorama centerpiece displays
  • Standard 1/150 scale compatibility with most railway hobby supplies
  • Unpainted format allows for total creative control over the finish

Cons

  • Requires significant effort to paint and finish properly
  • Assembly tools and paints are not included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin construction, ensure you have a clean workspace, side cutters (nippers) for removing parts from the sprue, and high-quality plastic cement.

  • Compatibility: This kit is strictly 1/150 scale (N-scale), making it compatible with most standard railway diorama scenery and structures found in Japanese model stores.
  • Preparation: Wash the plastic parts in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap to remove any mold-release residue before painting.
  • Care: Keep the finished model away from direct sunlight to prevent plastic warping or yellowing of the paint finish. Use a soft, dry brush to remove dust from delicate sections of the train body.
