Tamiya 24342 1/24 Mazda MX-5 Roadster Model Kit - Classic Lightweight Roadster  [24342]

Overview of the Tamiya 1/24 Mazda Roadster MX-5 kit

The 2015 update to the fourth-generation Mazda Roadster, often referred to as the MX-5, kept the car's focus on light weight and engaging handling. Since the original debut in 1989 the MX-5 has stayed true to a simple, driver-oriented formula. Road cars commonly come with a 1.5-liter engine or a 2.0-liter in some markets, mated to a six-speed manual, along with current safety features.

Tamiya's 1/24 reproduction lets modellers capture the MX-5's silhouette and charm. The kit supplies parts and decals to replicate the vehicle faithfully, and it supports assembly for left-hand or right-hand drive layouts to match regional preferences.

Scale accuracy and finishing tips

This Mazda Roadster model showcases Tamiya attention to scale fidelity. Measuring 164mm long by 80mm wide, the miniature shows the car with the top and side windows down, and the chassis and cabin detail are well represented for credible display builds.

Metal transfer stickers are supplied to give authentic badge and mirror finishes straight from the box. Whether building a Japanese, North American, or international variant, the kit provides a satisfying modelling project for hobbyists.
