cruz Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Managed to get this thing completed though I am kind of frustrated that the kit supplied only one RX7 decal for the front quarter panels so I guess I will get someone to print them for me. This is the American version of this car therefore I made it left hand driven and corrected the rest of the small details along the way. The kit supplies you with the rear spoiler but I had several guys tell me that most Mazda lovers like it without it so I went with that. I will definitely wait for a nice, sunny day to take several outside shots to show how beautiful that color truly is. Color is BMW Turqouis Blue Metallic. Very enjoyable build no doubt….. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Brown Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Beautiful! Outstanding work on the paint! Did you convert the dash to left hand drive yourself or was the part supplied in the kit? I don’t see any LHD parts on the parts layout in the instructions. That’s the only reason I haven’t bought a couple of these, yet; I’ve been holding out for them to release a US version.

Don't hold your breath on the release of an American version, it's not difficult to perform this task using the Monogram kit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Beautiful work! Very clean and looks just perfect. I saw this in one of the RX7 groups on Facebook, I think. (I have a 1985, and it is without the spoiler. Although ... I am not anti-spoiler, if it's period-correct) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Very nice, you've really done it justice. It certainly puts the cartoonish Fujimi RX-7 I'm currently building into perspective! That does have a LHD dash however, so it might be another option for a USDM build. Edited April 6, 2023 by Spottedlaurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plashdaddy Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Stunning work! I suspect the inclusion of only one decal may be correct for the Japanese RX-7, I had the same confusion when I restored this vintage Tomica diecast which only features the badge on one side too. 🤷♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
