What model company would be abreviated ROS
Found this on modelexpress.net ... they don't give any description of the car, but the sku is ROS_#####. The first 3 letters are normally a short of the manufacturer. TAM for tamiya, FUJ for fujimi, etc. Anybody know what ROS is?

It should be a type-o. It might be AOS_XXXX for Aoshima.

It appears to be this efini RX-7 built by Aoshima. Model is curbside. Only discrepancy is a wing on the website image, whereas the pic I posted above has no wing...

ROS is short for Rosso, which made a few curbside kits such as this RX-7, also they made a Ferrari 512 TR, and the large 1/12th scale NSX, 300Z. Rosso was a company formed by the guys from Fujimi that developed their Enthusiast line. Rosso failed. That's why Fujimi doesn't do Enthusiast kits anymore.

BTW, I have the black RX7 pictured. In fact I have RX7's now by Tamiya, Rosso, and Fujimi...never got an Aoshima version.

The above page posted claims that Rosso paid better attention to interior detail though. Too bad their out of production.
