rotary engine kits??

does anyone know any rx-7 kits that come with a rotary engine?
because im planning on putting it in my initial d FC3S and FD3S

iirc Tamiya RX-7 R1

i am doing it :iceslolan

Tamiya RX7 R1 (FD3S) has the 13B rotary engine.

Besides that, the old neglected Revell kit of the first generation RX-7 also has an engine. However, from what I remember, its molded poorly with little detail, and it's 1:25 instead of 1:24. Its also would be totally wrong. Anyway, just another motored kit since you asked.

Tamiya FC RX-7 coupe kit #24060
Tamiya FC RX-7 convertible kit #24074
Tamiya FD RX-7 R1 kit #24116

Bonus non-RX-7 kit w/ rotary engine... ;)
Tamiya 787B (4-rotor!) kit #24112

awww both the FC kits r discontinued =(

is there any other way of getting discontinued kits?

does this kit have a engine?

hey testors had an FD with an engine too, but it was like one big brick, kinda resembled a lego brick, you would not wnat that in your inital d,

haha i just had to post that

why buy a kit when you can just buy a mini lego kit then heh.

any pics of what the 13b and the 13REW looks like?

just want to see if they are simular

the only reall diff between the 13BT and the 13BREW is the manifolding/piping and the fact that the 13B REW is TT (and hidden under lots more piping/covers). oh and the word 'mazda' on the rotor housing are diff style. (but thats not really seen).
im pretty sure thats it.

If your going to make Ryosukes FC with an engine, you should use the engine from the Tamiya FD R1, cos the Tamiya FC engine has the top mount intercooler, and Ryosuke has changed his to a front mount.

im just worried about cutting the hood open. and if ill stuff it up

and also on the standered curb the kits have the grill part(the bit above the hood.) http://nightwatchman.customer.netspace.net.au/300zx-002.jpg
is connected to the hood and i found it really hard to remove the hood completely. i can cut the sides and front easyly but itsj ust that part.

any help?



and i dont think the initial d cars have a shine to them..........do they?

In the anime and manga they dont cos there CG and drawn. If it was real life, of course they would shine. There cars.
Lot of replicas have been made. Even some official ones a few years ago. I think they were at one of the Tokyo AutoSalons a couple of years back.

ok thanks ozstrider

could u or someone else help me with that hood problem.
thanks

You might be best off just cutting it entirely off, then once the hood is out, it will be easy to cut the part that you indicate off the hood. Then glue that part back onto the body, and there you go. The hood is removed, and nothing else.

hmmmm that might be betta, well ill try on a model that i screwed up

thanks.
