Does anyone know where I can get a good 1st Gen Model? I really prefer a nice diecast over plastic, but...

Thanks!

 

I work at a hobby shop and have been looking for a model for over a year. No one makes one currently. I found a plastic kit on ebay a fey months ago, but that's it.

 

keep watching ebay i got a green and white 1/24 metal #40 12aturbo widebody 1st gen its sweet... and i got it for 22.50. i can send a pic if wanted

 

I just picked up a TII model made in japan from some store here. Theres a few FD's and all the "japanese cars" aka Skyline, Civic R etc . . I think and AE86 too

 

Tamiya Japan make a 1 gen ! i somehow got hold of one and they do the 3 gen. Fujimi does 2 gen turbo and the 2000 model of the 3 gen.

 

Do an internet search. I saw a web page a few days ago that had a TON of info on Rx-7 Models.

Also Mike Ancas, The guy who wrote the Mazda Rx-7 Performance Handbook sells 'em.
