Tuning Culture in Miniature - Aoshima 05839 - 1/24 Mazda Vertex FD3S RX-7 '99

The Aoshima 05839 - 1/24 Mazda Vertex FD3S RX-7 '99 kit recreates a tuned RX-7 profile with careful attention to the era's styling. It is ideal for builders who value authentic shape and tune-era details at a manageable 1/24 scale. The model balances challenge and reward for those who like to customise their builds.

Precision Moulding and Parts

Parts are produced to capture the Vertex bodywork and tuned accents. The mould quality supports clean seams and straightforward trimming, which helps when you focus on paint and weathering techniques to bring out the model's character.

Tips for a Cleaner Build

Take care with seam sanding and test-fitting before gluing. Use thin coats of paint and consider masking for two-tone or metallic finishes. Patience during assembly will pay off in crisp panel lines and a professional look.

Display Potential

Finished, the model sits well alongside other scaled JDM cars or in a scene showing track or street tuning culture. Its scale and detail make it a practical choice for collectors who display many models together.

Yes. The smooth surfaces and clear areas are suitable for aftermarket decals. Use a decal setting solution and seal with a clear coat to ensure longevity.
The kit focuses on exterior tuning details; cockpit and engine bay are basic but present. Modellers wanting more realism often add photo-etched or scratch-built parts for those areas.
Absolutely. Light chipping, tyre dust and panel fading can be replicated with washes, dry brushing and pastel powders to convey mileage and track use.
