Hi guys! new project for the new year :) this is the fujimi mazdaspeed miata with engine and I'm planning to take it easy on this one and build it box stock.

wanted to build this one to improve my car body painting skills. did about 4 coats of primer with sanding in between coats, followed by 3 coats of Tamiya TS-17 via airbrush and then 3 coats of Titanium brand 2k urethane clear coat. body prep is really the key. Paint went on perfectly.

no polishing or wax applied to the body yet. just left it to dry for about a week or so.

Nice project, looks good so far.

pare i saw youre civic on the ipms..nice built.. i'll follow this thread.. i'll wait for the result..haha

Looks nice in silver, good job so far! Be careful with the front windshield, I has hard times with mine installing it! You can see mine in my sig.
What color do you plan for the interior?

janositamas, thanks for the tip regarding the windshield. looks like I do need to test fit that. did you have problems with the front bumpers as well? I had to putty it up and rescribed the panel line.

new lightweight goodies! straight silver body on a mazdaspeed seems too formal :)
