Tamiya RX7

[asfastasu]

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.

That looks really good.  That deep metallic blue looks so smooth.  Great job.

Looks great! I love that color, I just painted a '68 Dodge Dart with it!

Beautiful work!  

That SA/FB - which kit did you use?  Isn't the old Tamiya kit of the first gen curbside?

Ha! Ha!  I see I commented on that build, too.  The old Monogram kit.  Both are beautiful builds!

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.

Love these cars!  You did them well.

[asfastasu]

Thanks everyone. I just need an FC to finish the trifecta.

[iamsuperdan]

Beautiful paint!

You just need to do a 2nd gen RX7 now!

[Classicgas]

Beautiful job on both. 

[FLHCAHZ]

Amazing paint work!

[asfastasu]

Thanks guys. iamsuperdan, yeah a second gen(FC) is on my to do list. Maybe even an RX8 just to round it out.

[AlbertD]

A very impressive build. I love the color and quality of the finish.

Love the color - on both Rx-7s! Great finish!

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.

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....

[Bainford]

Great looking Mazda. Beautiful paint. Well done.

[Dann Tier]

[slusher]

Absolutely stunning!

[Dominik]

Two beautiful looking japanese cars. Well done!

Now you need the 2nd Gen to park between ??

Looks great!!

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...
