Tamiya 24353 1/24 Mazda MX-5 RF
Hit the Road(ster)
2016 saw the addition to the fourth generation Mazda Roadster (MX-5) lineup of a new RF model, which features a hardtop that can be moved at the flip of a switch. Dynamic and lightweight, the car employs a 2-liter DOHC inline-4 engine, and this alluring fastback/open-top model has added a new dimension to the global hit MX-5 brand.
This model assembly kit recreates the fun to drive MX-5 (also known as the Miata MX-5 in the US and Roadster in Japan). Specifically, the kit recreates the RF model that was originally announced by Mazda in 2016: the initials stand for Retractable Fastback, as the car features a sleek fastback hard- top design with innovative retractable roof. In fact, the actual car's three-piece roof opens and closes in just thirteen seconds, and all at the push of a single button. It also features tweaks to its chassis and suspension to accommodate the heavier top section, while retaining all of Mazdavaunted safety features.
Features
- 1/24 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 164mm, width: 80mm.
- The kit depicts the 2017 model MX-5 RF, complete with options available on top grade models in the Japan market such as Recaro seats, and BBS wheels.
- Parts to build: Japanese, US, UK or European market spec cars.
- NEW side window parts in this kit allow for the hard top to be depicted up or down.
- Detailed renditions of the suspension and interior.
- Metal-plated parts are used to depict light reflectors and other components.
- Decals are included for instrumentation and other details, as are metal transfers for emblems and side mirror surfaces.
