This is an overview of my collection of miniature models of the Mazda Rx-7 and of other Mazda sports cars that came factory equipped with a rotary engine.
Most items in the lists point to a brief description of the model kit and a picture
of the box art. Descriptions of kits that originate (for the most part) from the same patterns are listed on a single page.
The lists are not exhaustive, as new models keep surfacing (and I don't know everything).
Apart from that, I limit the scope of my collection to plastic and resin model kits
of those Mazda types that were exclusively equipped with a rotary engine (so I exclude types like R-100, Rx-2/3/4/5 which were
in essence rotary equipped versions of cars that were also available with piston engines).
There are too many ready made die-cast models around for my taste to collect all of those too.
You can find a more complete overview of all Mazda miniature models on the home page of Geert-Jan de Vaal.
