Tamiya 24353 - 1/24 Scale Mazda MX-5 RF Model Kit - Lightweight sports car replica  [24353]

Guide to the Tamiya 24353 1/24 Mazda MX-5 RF model kit

The MX-5's reputation rests on a lightweight concept and readable handling. The RF variant, introduced in 2016, added a folding hardtop that alters the car's silhouette while retaining the MX-5 character. In production form it is driven by a 2-liter DOHC inline-4 engine, offering a balance of responsiveness and economy.

Accuracy and assembly notes

This 1/24 Tamiya kit reproduces the RF's profile and trim with precise moulding. Fit quality supports neat joins and realistic detailing, making it a satisfying project for detail-focused modellers.

Finishing advice for realistic results

For authentic finishes, try Tamiya TS-29 Semi-Gloss Black, TS-30 Silver Leaf and TS-38 Gun Metal. After painting, use polish and a clear gloss lacquer to enhance shine and protect the finish.
