Aoshima 20251 — 1/24 FD3S RX-7 '02 AIR Suspension Custom Overview
This 1/24 plastic model kit recreates a 2002 Mazda FD3S RX-7 presented with AIR suspension lowering and custom street styling, issued under Aoshima's The Tuned Car series to show a modified stance and exterior.
The FD3S is Mazda's third-generation RX-7 produced from 1992 to 2002, noted for its lightweight construction and twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine. It became popular in sports car and tuning circles for its handling balance and high-revving character and frequently receives aftermarket suspension and body upgrades.
Kit description and modelling notes
The kit captures the FD3S outer lines with added aftermarket cues that illustrate a lowered, air-suspended look. Moulded parts concentrate on body panels, wheels, and trim items; the set is intended for modelers who will assemble and finish components to mirror the low stance shown on the box art. Decal contents and interior detail are not specified in the supplied text; standard modelling steps such as seam work, priming, painting, and detailing are expected to reach a display-ready finish.
Fitting and finishing considerations
When building a tuned-car subject at this scale, attention to panel fit, wheel alignment, and wheel-to-arch clearance is important to achieve the correct lowered presentation. Careful masking, clearcoat technique, and reference photos of FD3S aftermarket setups will help match ride height and wheel offset to the desired look.
