Mazda MX-5 RF

This is my newest project. The new Mazda MX5 from Tamiya.

It looks like a nice kit. Very good details and pretty much parts. Should be a fun build I hope.






It will be Lexus Mica Red.


The original wheels are very small. I'll be using Aoshima 19'' Advan RGIII wheels.



Since the original car is a very girly car in my opinion, i have to make it a bit more cooler. I recently bought a hardtop conversion set from Plamoz. It's very nice and just need some cutting on the Tamiya body.

First I added some carbon decals and others.




After that I clearcoated the body.






The wheels were painted Alclad Copper and I added the Advan decals.

I also completed the Mazda body today. First I polished the paint and added the rubbertrims. After that I installed the clearparts.
