【MAZDA】 Known as a pure sports car, Mazda's limited model that boasted popularity not only in Japan but also overseas has been turned into a plastic model!

If you are a sports car lover, your eyes must have been captured by it at least once. The Mazda RX-7 is not a car that merely pursued speed. It possesses a beautiful form as if it shaped the wind itself, and its appearance alone moves the viewer's emotions. This plastic model reproduces the R1 grade, which particularly emphasized sports performance, among the RX-7 models that underwent a full model change in 1991. The body composed of dynamic curved surfaces beautifully expresses the charm of the actual vehicle, resulting in a finish that makes you truly realize that “the RX-7 is indeed a special existence” each time you proceed with the assembly.

A major highlight of this model is the point that it does not end with just the appearance. The engine hood remains removable even after completion, and a meticulously reproduced engine room spreads out beneath it. Centering on the twin-turbo rotary engine that can be called the synonym of the RX-7, auxiliary equipment such as the intake manifold and air cleaner are also finely brought to life in 3D, making you unconsciously open the hood and gaze inside even after completion. While the moment of completion is the goal for ordinary models, this kit is extremely attractive because the fun of admiring it continues even after it is finished.

The charm of a sports car is not limited to the exterior and engine alone. The philosophy of the car is also intensely reflected in the space operated by the driver. In this kit, effort is also poured into reproducing the interior, with seats, the dashboard, and various parts expressed with rich three-dimensionality. Gazing inside the car while assembling makes you feel as if you are sitting down in the driver's seat, and admiration for sports driving naturally expands. The left-hand drive specification instrument panel and airbag-type steering wheel are also reproduced, and the commitment to fine details further heightens the completion degree of the entire model.

The car name RX-7 is not a mere name of a sports car, but holds a special meaning for many fans. The reason is that it achieved both high performance and beauty at a high level. As you assemble this model, it conveys how thoroughly the designers obsessed over every detail to create this car. Every single line of the body has a meaning, and functional beauty resides even in the configuration of the engine room. As you approach completion, you will be able to experience a sensation where your understanding and affection toward the actual vehicle deepen.

The completed RX-7 R1 radiates a presence that transcends the framework of a model. The sharp and low-slung styling makes a great picture from any angle, and if you display it on a desk or in a showcase, it naturally becomes the main character that gathers gazes. The appearance that captivates through the pure beauty of design without relying on flashy decorations is the actual vehicle itself that has attracted sports car fans around the world for many years. There are new discoveries each time you look at it, and you will be able to enjoy it without growing tired of it even after time passes.

Among numerous sports car models, this RX-7 R1 possesses a special charm. With highlights packed everywhere—such as the beautiful body lines, precision rotary engine, and a cockpit overflowing with three-dimensionality—the process of assembling itself becomes a single experience. After completion, a sense of accomplishment beyond a mere model can be obtained, and you will be able to fully enjoy the joy of creating a famous car with your own hands. For those who want to thoroughly savor the unique worldview that the RX-7 holds, it is a single car that can be called a model with an extremely high level of satisfaction.
