Mazda achieved worldwide fame after its victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but that does not mean that it had previously achieved other important successes outside of Japan. In 1979 the small coupé RX-7 achieved victory in the GTU category at the 24 Hours of Daytona, also achieving fifth place overall. The Hasegawa scale kit allows this version to be reproduced, with extensive detailing of the interior, the lower part of the chassis and the suspensions, and with exquisite fittings. The kit also includes masks to paint the window frames.

Hasegawa continues to delight us with new molds of great quality and detail. In this case, the model reproduced is the latest version of the Toyota MR2 (AW11 to mount the 1.6-liter engine) whose engine was equipped with a small volumetric Roots-type compressor and an intercooler, which is why the engine cover had two vents, one of which was functional. Their "Supercharged" logo quickly became legendary in Japan. All these details are found in the kit. The engine cover can be opened to expose the upper part of the engine (the cylinder head) and the large intercooler, and the retractable headlights can also be opened or closed. We love it!
