Man, oh man! That's nice!

That's a bummer. Does anyone know if these corrected bodies might be available somewhere?

Raising this one from the dead ... on halloween. Are these corrected Mustang bodies available? That is some beautiful work, there! Thanks!

Well, I'll be - I stand corrected. I dug out the Monogram kit last night and compared it to the Tamiya kit. Yep, both are marketed as 1/24. And, the wheel wells do pretty well line up. BUT....the Monogram kit is a tad short when viewed from the side. And the roof is a tad smaller, and it appears to actually be 1/25 for the most part. But, I'll still buy one or two or three or ...

Nicely done. When you say "Hometown Hero", are you from Fayetteville?

Yeah, it fits that car!

Your comments about the Aoshima first generation RX-7 are absolutely correct - the body is shaped nicely for some of the first gen racers, but the interior is very shallow to accommodate the battery pack since the kit was motorized. I've yet to get my hands on the Fujimi version, but like you, I think it is the same. As for the Tamiya kit, it is 1/24, and was released as both a Series I (SA, molded in green) and Series III (FB, molded in white) first Generation RX-7. The SA version included "waffle" wheels, like the Monogram kit and the FB included the bizarre rotor shaped wheels that were a Japanese market only item. The SA & FB nomenclature refers to the beginning two digits of the VIN's. Both of the Tamiya releases are as scarce as hen's teeth now. I have both of the Tamiya kits and have compared them to the Monogram kit - the wheel wells line up exactly. The Monogram kit builds into a series II first generation RX-7, US spec, with left hand drive and a beautiful little rotary engine. I'm happy to see this kit come out again. Of course, I'm a bit biased. The page for RX-7 kit information ... right here Erix's page is full of great information about these and other RX-7 kits.

That's cool!

That is so awesome!

That's so cool!

As a RX-7 owner, I'm both offended and mighty impressed. Really nice work, I think this is a hoot!

I'm glad you brought this back. I'd be interested to know your results!

Holy cow! What a work of art! That is the absolute best that old kit has ever looked. Simply stunning!

Not to be Debbie Downer here, but I'm guessing we'll see this right before we see the Academy Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe. That said, I'd love to see this!

This is excellent.

Always been on my list of must-haves - if only a main-stream manufacturer would tool it up! Here's hoping....

Nice. I see a salts lake racer there!

That is an outstanding job!

Very creative! The silver fits it perfectly.

Real nice screamin' chicken you got there!

Crazy! I like it!

I agree, great start!

Maybe the best this kit has ever looked!

That is so cool!
