Tamiya 24116 1/24 Mazda RX-7 FD R1 - Classic rotary styling in miniature

The Mazda RX-7 FD is recognised for its compact rotary engine and sculpted body. Debuting in the 1990s, the third-generation RX-7 combined a lightweight chassis with tuned balance, factors that made it a standout among performance cars and a popular subject for scale kits.

Detailed miniature of a performance-focused coupe

This Tamiya 1/24 kit reproduces the RX-7 FD R1's exterior and underpinnings with careful attention to proportion. The model reflects the car's engineering priorities, including the twin-rotor 13-B REW and the sequential twin-turbo setup that contributed to its dynamic character.

Construction highlights for hobbyists

Builders will find the kit rewarding thanks to its clear moulding and components that echo the actual suspension design. When finished well, the model displays the RX-7s clean lines and mechanical detail, making it a solid addition to any collection.

To reach display quality, expect to use primer, multiple paint layers, decanting for even coats, and careful masking for trim lines. Patience and proper tools make a big difference.
This kit focuses on static display; some modellers choose to cut and hinge panels to show engine or interior details, but that requires extra skill and planning.
No, adhesives, paints and finishing supplies are not included. Use model cement for parts and acrylic or lacquer paints suitable for polystyrene plastic.
The kit provides well-defined suspension components and wheel profiles that closely resemble the real vehicle, allowing realistic stance when assembled carefully.
