Re: WIP- Hasegawa 1/12 Mazda Efini RX-7

Of all the sports cars over the years that I am positive I will own it is this one. I see only a few here and there and just imagine what I could do with one. I would make it bright red like this. I love this build and I need to start one of mine now. Love it!

Re: WIP- Hasegawa 1/12 Mazda Efini RX-7

Been wanting to get one of these ever since I saw it on Hiroboys site, but the cost (near 400us) kept me away...
Will be following this one closely.
Great paint job so far!

Wow! Tell me more about the brake plumbing. What material did you use for the line, fittings and, bending and firewall guides?
Looks sharp!
