Cool First generation Mazda RX7
This is Monogram's excellent Mazda RX7 kit. It's better than Tamiya's. It has great engine detail, and is unique in that it is a base model car with alloys. Note the single side mirror and no body side molding.

This was a fun car to build (I built it about 6 years ago). I built two of them identically in assembly-line style. A guy paid me to build one like this, I decided I'd like one as well...so I saved some time by building them at the same time. I built it out-of-the-box, only adding flocking for carpeting material. Just the ticket for a tuner to dig into-kinda like a crisp, clean canvas to work from...these little Mazdas were great pocket-rockets. The rotary engines are sweet.

Paint is a custom mix of Testors enamel to match a color swatch of the original color.

I'm working on Tamiya's right now. I guess I'll just have to pick up one of those afterwards... Great work.

jay, are you working on the late version of the 1st gen? the one with a different rear end (the plate is located below the bumper)?

Tamiya only made the later "FB" version, so, yes.
