Smile efini RX-7 Type-R / Mazda Rx-7 R1

Hi Daryl , well first of all if you are gonna purchase this kit you got to know that there's a difference between the efini model (24110) and the R1 (24116). The first it's the domestic Japanese version of 1991 but it doesn't have engine under the hood.The latter it's the U.S. MY1992 version and does have it.Therefore, it's recommendable to pick up the US car.This US version has added several pieces more parting from the Japanese one.It has the airbag steering wheel , LHD instrument panel and specific decals.You can build the Japanese car parting from this kit also but youŽll have to paint yourself emblems and so.
The aspect and size it's better than the other 1/24 offerings from Fujimi and Aoshima and details are up to expectations.
So you wanted engine pictures, right?

I have some pictures of the real car shown on its original dealer catalog.If you want them too, just tell me.

Factory colours for the J-Spec were: Red,Black , Yellow , MEtallic Midnight Blue , and Silver.I think white was also in the chart but may be in other versions of the range. For the interior you have the standard two-tone grey (cloth) or black leather.Red leather was also offered in any version.
Instead , the US R1 had the complete colour variety including beige leather.Enjoy the making Daryl.

Not every colour is available (factory made) with all the upholstery shades.
