In Progress : Mazda RX-7 FC3S







This is my latest offering, a 1985 2nd Generaration RX-7.
it will have a GT Wing and Pale Gold Advan wheels.
The front bumper was modified with plastic sheet and putty will I was working on the Supra, so sorry no before photo's.
This is the second paint job the body has had as the Metallic Red it was first coated in was wrong for the Jap Tuner look, i'm hoping for, so Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red was used in the end.
The bonnet is airbrushed in SAAB black which is as black as you get, and then clear coated.

Is the Savanna "Tuning kit" version?

It's my first kit I bought but unfortunatly I broke the model . I've used the air intake for my Corrado Cabrio the bumper for a Merco E, etc...

Nice color, with a black hood that's great!

Gorgeous and tasteful without any extraeneous stuff.

Might I ask the size of those Advans? I'm hoping you don't go the 18-19" route with Pegasus sleeves. It'd really look out of place on this car.
