Tamiya 1/24 MAZDA MX-5 Miata NA BRG Edition
For the longest time I wanted to do a NA Miata, but couldn't find the time - not seems like as good of a time as ever!
The kit is good old Tamiya*24085* - pretty old kit as Tamiya made it right after the car release in 1989 - this will be a JDM version, so RHD. Curbside, but good detail. Plan is to build mostly box stock, but maybe will add a few bits here and there. This will represent a BRG edition car, with saddle interior - similar to this:

Such a cool kit and I'm sure you will do it justice.

I'll try to do my best!
I have a small update - body was cleaned up and everything primered. IMG_1424 by Italian Horses, on Flickr I also re-scribed all panel lines, and for such a small car there was a lot!

Re: Tamiya 1/24 Mazda MX-5 Miata NA BRG Edition
Had to mix interior color to match the photo from the following colors:
IMG_1459 by Italian Horses, on Flickr Don't know the exact proportions, but I'd say something like*10:3:1 IMG_1460 by Italian Horses, on Flickr Color turned out to be spot on, very pleased with it: IMG_1538 by Italian Horses, on Flickr Detail painted all interior bits: IMG_1551 by Italian Horses, on Flickr Dashboard completed: IMG_1559 by Italian Horses, on Flickr And finished interior. Added some seatbelts since this is a convertible and interior will be easily seen.
