Mazda FD3S RX7 – Tamiya

May 6, 2008

Pretty standard build. I shaved the side turn signals. They were too hard to detail properly so I shaved them. I didn’t use the wing either. The color is the same tinted Pactra silver that I used on the ’66 GTO. I was very happy with how well this kit turned out. The gunmetal wheels really look great with this color.

Completed: May 2008

Project introduction.

Early prep work.

With the prep work complete, the color was sprayed.

Now for the clear.

I would love to rework this area to the level of detail I’m capable of today.

Gunmetal seemed to fit the color scheme better.

Just a neat shot of the models in progress.

Black outlines painted on the glass.

The windows are installed and held in place with Tamiya tape while the glue cures.

Posed with other current projects.

I was happy with the way the tail lights turned out.
