Tamiya 24116 1/24 Mazda RX-7 FD R1 - Rotary-era detail in scale

The Mazda RX-7 FD remains a standout sports car thanks to its rotary engine character and flowing bodywork. This third-generation RX-7, launched in the early 1990s, is prized by enthusiasts for its lightweight balance and driving dynamics, making it a popular subject for scale modelling.

Faithful miniature of a Japanese sports classic

The Tamiya 1/24 kit reproduces the RX-7 FD R1 lines and mechanical cues, reflecting the car's focus on weight distribution and handling. Its twin-rotor 13-B REW rotary engine with sequential twin turbochargers and the near 50:50 weight balance are central to the RX-7's reputation, and the kit highlights those defining features in scaled form.

Assembly appeal and display quality

Model builders will find the Tamiya RX-7 rewarding to assemble, with parts that mirror the real car's suspension layout and body detailing. Careful painting and finishing bring out the model's contours, making it an attractive display piece whether added to a shelf of Japanese sports cars or shown on its own.
