Aoshima Enfini RX-7 Tuner Specials

In 1999 Aoshima changed their RX-7 FD3S tooling slightly by making the front facia a separate piece. This allows them to do yet more versions. Sofar they have created kits of a Mazdaspeed GT-Concept, VeilSide Combat Models 1 and 2 and C-West, Bomex and Vertex street-racers.

I have added a list of links to websites of car tuners mentioned in the text at the end of this page. Links in the text refer to this list.

S Package Ver.R Series Nr. 60, New RX-7 (FD3S) Mazdaspeed GT-Concept

released in July 1999

	This is a brand new kit of a brand new RX-7 version: Mazdaspeed's GT-Concept, a 1999 RX-7 type RS brought as close to Japan GT Championship specs as is legally possible for street use. The kit is based on the familiar nr.87 kit but the body is updated and now comes with a separate front bumper and the transparent parts come with updated circular tail lights and new front light covers. Other new parts are a full Mazdaspeed GT-C Aero Kit with side and rear skirts, front airdam and high mounted rear spoiler, authentic 18in Mazdaspeed/Rays MS-01MAG wheels (satin gold colored plating), a new exhaust system (beautifully bright plated), a large oil cooler and a new steering wheel. A new set of decals offers the latest red-on-white dials (yes, that rev counter goes up to 10.000rpm, with the yellow zone starting at just over 8000rpm !) and a full set of (optional) Mazdaspeed GT-C logo's. To top it off, Aoshima added a beautiful set of the latest Bridgestone G-Grid tires. There are some useful detail pictures of a real RX-7 GT-C printed on the side of the box.

	Here is a picture of what the real RX-7 GT-C looks like, note that the kit does not contain the slotted Aero-Bonnet. This Aero-Bonnet is available separately from Little Garage, part nr. CSP-03.

	In December 2000 Aoshima also released the Mazdaspeed RX-7 GT-C kit with the body parts painted in a bright blue metallic color.

released in Jan 2008

	In January 2008 Aoshima did a rerelease of the GT-C kit, only differences are the box art and the color of the body and aerokit parts, which are now molded in metallic blue.

Itasha Series Nr. SP, FD3S RX-7 Mazdaspeed GT-C "Working!!"

released in Dec 2010

	This is a limited release of the GT-Concept kit with the decals replaced by a large sheet of Itasha decals. The box-top sized decal sheet provides decals for one version plus a lot of optional items for adorning the car to your own taste with characters from the 'Working!!' manga. Apart from the decals the kit is identical to the regular GT-C release. Body parts, aerokit parts and interior are molded in white, chassis parts are molded in black, MS-01MAG wheels are satin gold painted, the rear exhaust pipe and muffler are brightly plated, the spare stock wheels are not plated. Tires are Bridgestone G-Grid.

S Package Ver.R Series Nr. 64, FD3S RX-7 VeilSide Combat I

released in June 2000

This kit is based on the same set of patterns used for the GT-Concept version and like the GT-Concept it is an accurate representation of a car tuner's special. It comes with a new front bumper, aerokit, rear wing and door mirrors and a brightly chromed big-bore exhaust pipe. Wheels in this kit are a set of satin chromed 18in wheels with separate brightly chromed rims and very nice copies of the latest style Pirelli P-Zero tires. The wheels differ a bit from the actual Marriott wheels, if this bothers you Fujimi does a very good set of VeilSide Marriott replacement wheels. The kit depicts the Combat Model 1 version, based on the early type FD3S with square tail lights and Efini badges on the rear end.

There are no pictures of the real car on the side of the box this time, I borrowed the picture of the real car on the right from the announcement on the Aoshima web site. More pics and info on VeilSide body kits can be found on the VeilSide web sites.

In December 2000 Aoshima also released the Veil Side RX-7 kit with the body parts painted in a brownish titanium metallic color.

Maziora Series Nr. 4, VeilSide RX-7

released in June 2001

	This is the same VeilSide kit as the ones listed above, but this time the body parts and the skirts and spoilers are molded in a type of plastic that changes color with the angle of view (similar to the effects of prismatic 'flip-flop' paints). Note that the body parts in this kit are not painted ! The idea is great, but the actual result is let down by dark mold lines running along the roof and engine cover and by the translucency of the plastic. The translucency can be countered by painting the insides of the body with a dark color, but parts like the rear wing have to remain translucent. If you want to paint the model yourself, GSI Creos (Gunze Sangyo) sells Maziora paint: CM-04 'Trapezium' is the same shade as the body parts of this kit, but note that this paint is expensive at 2000 Yen for 18ml. New parts in this kit are an optional set of dark tinted clear parts which come in addition to the regular clear parts.

S Package Ver.R Series Nr. 72, FD3S RX-7 VeilSide Combat II

released in October 2001

This kit is an updated version of the VeilSide Combat Model 1 kit. New parts for this update are a new nose cone with new clear indicator lenses, a new raised rear wing, new door mirrors, a new steering wheel and a new set of decals. On the right is a small picture I found on the Aoshima website, showing a real FD with the full VeilSide Combat II aerokit fitted. This kit is a good starting point if you want to create the car that stars in the movie The Fast and the Furious which was basically a '93 FD fitted with a VeilSide Combat II aerokit and a seriously uprated engine. On the outside the main differences between this kit and the movie car are the wild paint scheme, recessed Amemiya headlights, old style tail lights and 18in VeilSide Andrew Racing efF wheels, none of which are included in this kit. Other parts required for this conversion are a LHD dash, a set of Apex gauges, Sparco racing harnesses and a new VeilSide steering wheel and aluminum shift knob. The wheels are available separately from Fujimi (Parts Maker Wheel series nr.2, cat.nr. 19210), the LHD interior and the recessed headlights can be found in the revised Bomex kit (the headlights were also made by Little Garage, cat.nr. CSP-07).

S Package Ver.R Series Nr. 80, FD3S RX-7 Bomex

released in June 2003

Japanese US based tuner Bomex recently got famous for the work they did on the cars of the movie 'The Fast and the Furious', in particular the bright orange Toyota Supra. Bomex also made quite a few bits for the RX-7 FD, so Aoshima added this Bomex tuned FD to their range. Body and cabin interior parts are molded in white, chassis parts are molded in black, the stock wheels are not plated this time, but a sheet chromed plastic film is included for the mirrors (which are on the same parts tree as the stock wheels are). The body once again has a separate front bumper, taillights are of the late circular type. A set of clear parts is included with the C-West recessed headlight covers but these are not used (the lower part of the headlight assemblies is not included, these can be found in GT-Wing set pt.2). The kit contains the following new parts: Bomex nose, side-skirts, rear bumper cover and raised rear wing, a brightly plated exhaust pipe, new 18in 5-spoke Volk Racing wheels fitted with Bridgestone G-Grid tires, a large sheet of self-adhesive chromed plastic film for the rear view mirrors. Two sets of decals are included, a small set with license plates, dials, etc. and a large sheet with Bomex graphics for the body.
