It's coming along nicely.
The exterior looks perfect.
I can't wait to see that engine compartment.

Indeed, I agree it looks spot-on , congratulations on the gorgeous work done until now, and please keep the same amount of quality in it, and it will surely be a real showstopper!

Very cool build. Does this car have an engine? It'd be nice to put in an FC. Very cool scratcbuilt air ducts, and the decals, amazing job on them, I don't think I'd have the patience to do those decals.

yes the engine coming soon wit cf and details!!

Lol, well I don't know much about these cars but I think that there's no way in hell that engine would fit inside an FC, well unless you made some moustrous mods and even then it would be overkill and ugly. :icon16:

What is FC?!

Actually you could...the Mazda 787 was powered by a stock block Mazda 4-rotor rotary. The engine was so small, it was dubbed the "Beer Keg". But man...it made a monstrous sound, like a wailing banshee.


PS...Beautiful work on the kit. I was this one collecting dust somewhere in my closet.

sorry for the error the"fc"is in real : "cf" for carbon fiber!! :uhoh:

FC is a short term for older generation rx-7 (the ones before the last rx-7 I think)

And how'd you made those custom wheel nuts?
