asfastasu Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Built OOB. Paint is Tamiya ts53 deep metallic blue cleared with ts13 and then polished. I read on this site that the taillight panel was brittle and to be careful with it and I still managed to break it into three pieces🤬. Posed next to gramps.lol The brown FB was posted about a year ago on here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 That looks really good. That deep metallic blue looks so smooth. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Beautiful work! That SA/FB - which kit did you use? Isn't the old Tamiya kit of the first gen curbside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see I commented on that build, too. The old Monogram kit. Both are beautiful builds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asfastasu Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Thanks for the kind comments! Yes it was the newest reissue of the revellogram kit. Wish it was as easy to put together as the FD from Tamiya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e30lover Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Love the color - on both Rx-7s! Great finish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyK Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Those are great looking models. The dark blue finish is outstanding. I used to own each one of those cars in 1:1. My first RX7 was brown, very similar to your model. My second RX7 was black, but looked similar to your model. The brown car was faster than the black car. By the time that the black car was made it had gained a lot of weight. Regarding the black car. It blew the seals on the rotor when it was about 600 miles after the warrentee expired. Mazda refused to do anything for me to help cover the cost of fixing the engine. They told me that I should have revved the engine higher to burn off the carbon on the seals. I asked if that was clearly covered in the Owners Manual. They had no answer. They offered me a $500 discount on a new Mazda. Needless to say, I never owned a Mazda after this experience.

asfastasu Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 Thanks guys and gals! JohnnyK that's a bummer, I would love to own either one in real life. I've heard lots about the apex seals.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkychiken Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Really sharp build. the only thing i didn't like about this version was the rear wing, with the 4 uprights... Cool pair of Mazdas tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
