Could have been Hasegawa. or Tamiya. I've seen the kit at a friend of minds hobby shop. It is called the 'Savanna' rather than 'RX7'. It could also be a reissue by another company. They love to recycle tooling, I don't think they through anything away over there.

The top red one clearly states it is a FUJIMI kit in the description.

Savanna is just another kind of FC.... Savanna is to FC as Hemi is to a Charger or Baracuda

Here's as much as I can translate from the description on the right...

[RXT 014] FC3S (duh)
Mazda Savanna RX-7 2,000 Yen
Fujimi 1/24 Scale
(The last line is way beyond my current abilities.)

The very bottom line w/ the Kanji simply states "The box is very slightly dented."

Ted covered the rest of the description.

I have the Tamiya one w/ detailed engine and everything else- very nice kit; I recommend it.
