Tamiya is delighted to
announce a new stablemate
for the popular MX-5 (also
known as the Miata MX-5 in
the US and Roadster in Japan)
model Item 24342! This 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 hardtop
design with innovative
retractable roof.
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 Mazda’s vaunted safety
features.
• This is a 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.
• Modellers can choose to assemble the
kit as Japanese, US, UK or European
market spec, and have the option
of depicting the hard top
up or down, thanks to
new roof and rear/side
window parts.
• Features 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.
