Mazda Rx-7 Savanna

[iceracer1]

This wil be my next project:



Very old Fujimi kit and like more of them this one is equiped with parts to fit a electro engine on it :S I hate that so most of the parts wil not be used



As you can see I got 2 dashboards and 5 seats :P So there'll be just a few parts I'm gonna use of them

This model can be build in 2 different versions. One with a normal window and one with a thrunk like a Toyota Mr2 etc. I like that last version
The kit also contains 2 different spoilers. One big spoiler and one small spoiler. I'll use the big one









I also searched for some 'timeless'' wheels. I found these 2 sets:








I'm thinking about the 5 spoke wheels....

The rest of the model will be unchainged. I like the sportif looks of the car and I think it I don't have to customize it.

if you want timeless, and plenty good looks, go with an open mesh, v, or Y design, you cannot go wrong. or a set of minilites, or r.s. watanabe.

I like the tunnel back deck lid.

i have the same kit, but the touge version and im working on it now. everything is the same except for additional decals and AMG wheels. use the five spokes. i have some watanbes in mine and the stance look great. will post my WIP soon.

I agree, go with the 5-spokes for sure.

good luck, but 1 guestion:
Were all those parts on picture 2 in the box of picture 1?(Please anzver to PM)

[evil_hanzel]

all those parts are included in that kit. over here those exact FC kits costs 3 USD each( yes its not a typo, its really is 3USD/3.00USD/three US dollars)

New update

First I bought a new camera yesterday.... so I have to learn how it works and that's why the pics are not all sharp

Yesterday I also painted the body and clearcoated it. It was painted with Duplicolour and it looks like a Bourdeaux Red/Brown colour.

First I painted it with red primer:




I also painted the wheels in Motip Chrome:






I'll let this dry for a week before I polish the body.

Paint looks really heavy on that but nice colour. Lookin forward to more.

i like that rear window conversion is it unique to that kit alone i want to try that with a supra

Pff topic on page 6

Finally there is an update of this model

I finished the whole body. I painted all the glasses and painted the windowtrims. Also painted the door/bumper strips and glued the windows to the body.









Again sorry for the blurry pics.

beautiful turn out but the color is so dull

[iceracer1]

Today I completed the interior. I used black and orange for inside.









Only changed the seats for racing seats.
