Mazda RX-7 LM '81

[Brendan]

The kit is a Profil 24 Mazda RX-7 LeMans 1981. Decent resin; had a lot of pin holes that had to be filled. Body had some minor imperfections but were easy to fix. I use a mix of Tamiya's TS line of paint to paint the body. The blue is a mix of TS-14 and TS-15 in a 2:7 mixture of black to blue. And used Tamiya's TS-12 for the gold. Paints were decanted and airbrushed. Decals were nicely printed but did not want to stick. Ended up painting all of the gold on since the decals did not match the gold paint that well. Overall impression is that it's a decent kit; just some things that the manufacturer should have done to make an easier assembly. Here's a link to the build. Feel free to comment.

I definately have to agree.......that is one AWSOM build. the detail from what we can see in the photos is off the hook. You did this resin kit Justice with all the TLC to make the body perfect.

Thanks for everyone's comments. Was talking to some other people on another forum and they were mentioning that someone needed to make the IMSA GTO and GTU class cars. Those were the Mazdas that I would like to see get made.
