My kid just turned 18. He drives a blue FB. One of his high school friends found this in Ebay and gave it to him as a birthday present. ‘Pop the hood Dad’ he tells me. And sure enough… the iconic blue air filter housing!

 

lolz. i have had the same one on my desk for a while. never noticed the hood opened until just now.

 

Ha! I would have not known, except the kid told me to turn it upside down and shake it.

 

LOL! fun story - thanks for the Distraction

That's very cool!! Looks like it has nice detail for a 1:43!

 

Pretty sure that's a 1-64 "johnny lightning" , I paint at that scale as a hobby. Konami has a great SA , this one is a FB .

 

The Kid confirmed it is indeed a Johnny Lightening.

 

Johnny Lightning released a few versions of the RX-7 over the last year. I have a few but didn't recognize this one. Looks like I'll have to find one and add it to the collection!

 

My wife gave me a Johnny Lightning Red one that matches the one I picked up recently. I will check to see if the hood opens! LoL

 

Still sad there's no affordable SA .. Well the hotwheels is a SA but the JL is nicer .
