Revisiting the Eunos Roadster on Tamiya's M-04M

The Tamiya 58325 captures the charm of the Eunos Roadster, better known as the MX-5 Miata, and places it on the compact M-04M chassis for an enjoyable on-road experience. This remake keeps the car's nostalgic appeal while giving hobbyists a tidy, easy-to-service platform to run and display.

A short history of the Eunos Roadster

The Eunos Roadster built a strong following through the 1990s, earning recognition as a widely produced lightweight two-seater sports car. Updates over its production run included DOHC engines, refined suspension tuning, and strengthened bodywork, with the NB model introduced to meet tightened safety requirements. These real-world improvements are echoed in the model's faithful styling and proportions.

M-04M chassis details and layout

The M-04M chassis is designed for compact handling and straightforward upkeep. A slim monocoque frame keeps weight down, and the gearbox can be removed without a full strip-down. Four-wheel double wishbone suspension with friction dampers provides predictable control, while grippy rear tyres and a large urethane bumper help protect the model during spirited runs.

Who will enjoy the Tamiya Eunos Roadster

This kit appeals to collectors who value accurate bodywork and to drivers who want a nimble on-road performer. The balance of period styling and uncomplicated mechanics makes it a good pick for hobbyists at different skill levels.
