Fujimi Mazda RX3 Model Car Buildup

The inside glass and windshield is a one piece part. I slipped it in with no trouble. If this model was being build for a contest or show, I would recommend using bare metal foil in the little trim that there is on the body and around the windows. But since this is for my own personal fun, and to keep costs down, I just painted the trim with silver paint (and a steady hand !).


With the body now dry (this being several days after being painted), and the subassemblies ready, I inserted the chassis to the body from underneath. I must say, it went right in with little fuss. After a small amount of wiggling and fiddling, the model sat even and on all 4 wheels.


I glued on the front nose piece, and began doing the work on the outside. The side marker lights, bumpers, and taillight assemblies were added. At this time I did any outside detail painting that needed to be done, such as the door handles and key locks.

The few decals supplied are of good quality, and lay well with no silvering. The sheet includes the GT markings, emblems, and badges. I I was grateful for these, I prefer markings in decal form, rather than molded to the body. I used the Savanna front plate, but instead of just using the decal, I cut it out with scissors, and kept the backing on. This to me gives the tag thickness like a real plate when glued on.


I enjoyed doing this build. A curbside can be a nice break from a full blown kit and still be rewarding. In this case, it brings back some memories of one of my favorite style cars from when I was a kid. Back to when my mother would go to a gas station and the mechanics would come out and ask, "Can we look under the hood ? We've never seen a rotary engine before!".


Oh, and I mentioned at the beginning I bought two of these kits, because the second one is getting the full treatment, with a 13B donated from a Monogram RX7 !

  • Beast from the East: Expert Analysis of 40 Japanese High-Performance Cars - Japanese car manufacturers have a long tradition of producing outstanding sports and performance cars. Sometimes they are extreme versions of core models, such as the Honda Civic Type-R and Nissan Sunny GTI-R, and sometimes out-and-out purpose-designed sporting classics, such as the Datsun 240Z/260Z and Mazda MX-5. There has been steadily growing interest in the Japanese car scene in recent years, with grey imports of performance models having become particularly popular, and a whole industry has grown up to support the interest in modifying Japanese cars.
  • A-Z Japanese Performance Cars - Since the late 1980s Japanese motor manufacturers have been producing a line of high-performance cars that has found a ready market around the world. The combination of their abilities on the road, their traditional Japanese build quality and their reasonable pricing has captivated enthusiasts. Yet there has never been a single source in which to read and find out about these giants of the motoring world. Now, this exciting book profiles all Japan's greatest performance models, detailing their history, technical make-up and potential for speed. Each car is also rated for its desirability, tuneability and availability. At last, here is a book that fills a yawning gap: a reliable source of information about all the most significant and fascinating Japanese performance cars, many of which have never been written about in English before.
  • The Cars of Gran Turismo - Now with three distinct games, Sony Playstation's Gran Turismo has matured from curiosity to icon, becoming the most-popular automotive simulation game in the world. No other driving game joins together the cultures of video-playing and sports-car enthusiasm as Gran Turismo has. Author Huw Evans brings forty of Gran Turismo's cars to life in dozens of real-life color photographs. For many GT players, the book will provide the first look at the hard parts of the cars depicted in the game, from Japanese micros, through exotics such as the Pagani Zonda, to true racing thoroughbreds such as the Panoz Esperante GTR-1. The book is complete with specs on each car and quotes from avid gamers describing which cars they love to drive most.
