FD3s Rx7s

Hi Guys

(updated post)

I am new to these forums and have been viewing some nice models on here.

I have a collection of 40 odd FD Rx7s to go with my real car.
I am a bit of an RX7 fanatic.

All modified in some way. Usually creating custom rear wings or canards, Diffusers or skirts. adding Wheels or interior parts.

You can view them on my site below. Under Plastic models.

Current Project is a replica of my old 1:1. It's been a while in the build.

^^GORGEOUS!

Awesome models! I think, though, that perhaps you should try building an RX-7. Somethin' tells me you might like it.

Welcome to AF! You got a very extraordinary collection there... Might be usefull if I would like to know what color would suit an RX7. :lol:

Nice collection of RX7s

sweeeet

:22yikes: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Those are very nice built and styling FD......a set of FC could be your next collection! :grinno:

Crap, that's a lotta RX-7s! They're awesome though... Especially the two on top.

Like the others said, welcome, and we hope you enjoy your stay at AF.

Also which kit is that on the bottom left corner in the first pic, I like the color, and could you post some more pix of it please?

Oh yea, Welcome :wave:

Welcome to AF!

So nice to see more rotary heads around here...

Awesome builds!!!

Is it just me or is some of the FD's missing rear brakes? Nevertheless, awesome models!

what rims are these

They are definately Ray's TE37, probably Aoshima, but could be Fujimi or from a Tamiya JGTC kit

Great looking collection. They are very nice builds. Welcome to A/F!!!!

WOW. nice collection!

i love your colection

Your collection kicks ass. I are those all 1/18th scale? WHere did you get the RE-Amemiya one?

Rotary Freak!.....nice models. :p

I'm just as bad. I just need the model's...

Nice....Do i see a C-West? :iceslolan

Thanks Guys.

All kits are 1/24 Fujimi/Aoshima/Tamiya The Aoshima Kits are definately the better of the three. But only the R1 Tamiya has the engine.

Recently I updated a few of them with the Aoshima TE37 and 19" versions that were released. Living in Japan has some advantages.
But I do have one car with 19" from a tamiya NSX.

The rear brakes are missing from some. After you build 1 You do get bored and lowering requires modifying the rear brakes on a Fujimi Kit.
therefore some are missing due to repetition. I will finish them one day.

I have FC kits in Australia. One Purple Custom is very nice. Probably My favourite.

There are 2 Aoshima Cwest Kits. 2 Mazdaspeed GTC Concept Kits (One widebody), Veilside. Re-Amemiya, Vertex, Mazdaspeed.

Re-Amemiya Greddy 9 from Japanese Chain store. Most were 1200yen.

I have an FD in 1:1 and have owned 2 1:1 FCs before. So I dont miss the driving experience either.

The latest are here.

:eek: what do you do for a living?

woah, are you going to put the Re-Amemiya N1 front bumper on your 1:1?

welcome , nice models and car!

"Living in Japan has some advantages." some? id kill to live in japan.

I really like the green one. I would like to see one with a moulded body kit, though. Your paint and finish are excellent!

The only widebody I have is an aoshima 1/24 Mazdaspeed GTC.

I added rear fenders and widened the front by cutting the bonnet and separating the fenders. I trimmed the side skirts and added putty rear fenders and added PLA front trim.

I didnt finish the kit. ie lowering. But I will eventually.
Here are a few pics.
