The Mazda AZ-1 stands out for its dramatic gullwing doors and compact sport-oriented design from the early 90s. Aoshima's 1/24 rendition recreates those features faithfully, making it a satisfying kit for collectors who like period-correct small cars. This model reflects the niche appeal of kei sports cars and the AZ-1's role in that era.
This kit asks for careful part preparation, fitting and painting to reproduce tight body lines and the unique door assembly. Intermediate skills are helpful for clean seams and accurate paintwork. Use fine brushes, sanding sticks and appropriate adhesives to get the best result.
Completed, the model works well as a compact showroom piece and pairs neatly with other 90s sports models. Its distinctive silhouette makes it easy to spot on a shelf and provides historical interest for display boards or dioramas.
