1:24 Mazda Savanna Champ RX-7 (Comics Version) (Mecha-Doc)

The real subject

The Mazda Savanna RX-7 is a Japanese sports coupe that was sold on its home market under the name Savanna. It is characterized by a rotary engine of the Wankel type, thanks to which the nose could be low and flat, and by pop-up headlights recessed into the hood. Low weight and rear-wheel drive made it a favorite machine among drivers looking for a nimble car for the corners. The designation Comics Version and Mecha-Doc in the name refers to the Japanese comic original from which the guise of the car is taken.

Building and painting tips

Try the parts dry first, so that you know how the body and the interior sit together. Wash and degrease the model before painting; paint does not hold on a greasy surface. It is worth spraying the body with a filler primer, as small imperfections are then easy to find and sand. Apply the top shade in thin layers and let them dry; one heavy layer runs and loses detail. Mask the glazing before you start spraying.

Who it is for

The set is for modelers who enjoy Japanese sports coupes and for collectors of guises taken from comics. The package holds the kit; paints, glue and tools are not included, unless stated otherwise.
