Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West
This is my new project.
the Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West from Aoshima.  inside the kit:   Aoshima gave me some Impul wheels, but I don't like them on this car. And they are a bit too small. So I'll use these Volk CE28 wheels.     I think to paint it like the real C-west on the boxart. This is the colour I'll paint it.  I'll also make a new aluminium N1 exhaust, and do some cf work. Kris.

Re: Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West
I have this kit too, it's put on hold for now. Can't wait to see how your shapes up.

Re: Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West
I don't think Mazda will ever bring out anything as sexy as the FD3 again. Every thing just keeps looking like the RX-8.
Looks like you are off to a good start with this kit.

Re: Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West
Yesterday morning I painted the body.
Last night I added the decals, and added some extra decals.     I'm thinking about painting the wheels in black... Kris.

Re: Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West
How are you going to put those wheels on? You might have to modify the axle a bit because those wheels only have the rubber washers while the model kit has a peg attached to the wheels. Just wondering cause I was going to do the same as well.

Re: Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West
A few days ago, I clearcoated the body.
I also did some work on the chassis. I made a new exhaust from aluminium. Polished it and made a burnt tip on it. And I made some pics with the new rims I'm gonna use.       Kris.

Re: Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West
Last days I worked on the interior of this one.
First I painted everything flat red. I used Hiroboy silver interiorflocking and a shiftlight and steeringwheel from Aoshima. I also added Mr. Model PE sparco pedals (can't see them). And of course some sportseats.     The body is already polished and I painted the windowtrims, but I'll wait for pictures when I added the windows. Kris.

Re: Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West
Red on silver is a great choice. If I remember Mazda offered that as an OEM option.

Re: Mazda FD3S RX-7 C-West
After polishing the body, I had add the windowtrims and other detail stuff on the body.
     I only have to fit the wheels and do some wheatering on the chassis. And add the lightglasses on the body. Kris.
