Tamiya Plastic Model Kit
Mazda Savanna Rx-7 (1/24)
Tamiya revisits a classic with this updated release of the Mazda Savanna RX-7, a kit that now includes revised decals, refreshed packaging, a new instruction manual and convenient masking stickers. The sleek wedge-shaped body is recreated with crisp precision, capturing the low-profile nose, retractable headlights and clean lines that defined the first-generation RX-7. The model also features a detailed chassis underside, interior and suspension layout, offering a closer look at the engineering that made the real car so impressive. Openable headlights and an operable sunroof add a little extra charm, and the kit is rounded off with synthetic rubber tyres and a seated driver figure.
The RX-7 holds a special place in automotive history, and this kit offers a thoughtful reconstruction of its early 1980s evolution. With its lightweight monocoque body, refined aerodynamics and mid-mounted rotary engine, the sports coupé stood apart from its contemporaries, blending innovation with distinctive styling. The SE Limited version, introduced during Mazda’s 1980 update cycle, pushed the model further with aluminium wheels, weight savings and interior upgrades. This release captures the character of that era, giving modellers a satisfying mix of technical detail and nostalgic design.
