Tell me you're joking. You actually finished a model
Hehe, never mind that, keeping a cliche alive.

Nice to see something different. Not my taste, but it looks good anyway. How old is this model?

[Ayala]

a steal for such a nice kit. great job!!! btw did you encounter any fit problem while in prog?

[supratuner]

looks pretty good!

[Layla's Keeper]

Heh, a glimpse at when rotaries had carburettors. It's a beauty. I hope my Monogram turns out nearly as well. Kudos.

Thanks for the comments, kids.

Oh, man. They're here, but they look like turds. I want to spruce them up a bit, but don't think I have the tools to do it just yet...

Umm... I dunno. I can't find a copyright date on the box or instructions. It is kit #16 in Tamiya's Sports Car Series (they're up to 26x now), and I believe mine is an original issue, because it came with the electric motor and running gear.

One minor thing, the left side of the rear glass didn't exactly reach all the way to the body to snap in to place. You can kinda see it in the 5th pic looking down on it. That was it. The rest of the kit was clean as a whistle.

There was one user-generated error, though. The wires I used to connect the headlights were to bulky, and the lights couldn't retract fully with them installed, so they are temporarily removed...

Nice work there! My old RX7 was also painted red, I used the original "rotor" wheels on mine. The ones you chose look good on it.

[daggerlee]

Nice and classy, glad you didn't put big rims on it.

[Midnight Racer]

Great shine.
