Re: WIP- Hasegawa 1/12 Mazda Efini RX-7
Of all the sports cars over the years that I am positive I will own it is this one. I see only a few here and there and just imagine what I could do with one. I would make it bright red like this. I love this build and I need to start one of mine now. Love it!

Re: WIP- Hasegawa 1/12 Mazda Efini RX-7
Been wanting to get one of these ever since I saw it on Hiroboys site, but the cost (near 400us) kept me away...
Will be following this one closely. Great paint job so far! Steve

Re: WIP- Hasegawa 1/12 Mazda Efini RX-7
Wow! Tell me more about the brake plumbing. What material did you use for the line, fittings and, bending and firewall guides?
Looks sharp! |
