Inspecting the Tamiya 1/24 Mazda Roadster MX-5 scale kit

The 2015 fourth-generation Mazda Roadster, also called the MX-5, continued the tradition of lightweight, driver-focused sports cars that began in 1989. The model line is known for nimble handling and a simple drivetrain layout. Production examples are offered with 1.5-liter engines or 2.0-liter units in some territories, paired with six-speed transmissions and modern safety equipment.

Tamiya's 1/24 MX-5 kit captures the car's lively profile for scale modellers. Parts are arranged to let builders recreate the vehicle's smooth bodywork and interior, with the choice to build left-hand or right-hand drive versions depending on preference.

Build quality and model highlights

The Tamiya Mazda Roadster kit shows strong moulding accuracy and part detail. With overall model dimensions of 164mm by 80mm, it reproduces the open-top pose with roof and side windows lowered, and includes credible interior and chassis shapes for display.

Metal transfers supplied with the kit enhance emblems and mirror surfaces for a polished result. Whether you assemble a Japanese, American or worldwide spec edition, the kit offers a rewarding glue-build experience.
