Initial D Mazda RX-7 FC3S (Savanna)

This is Mazda RX-7 FC3S owned by Ryosuke Takahashi in the anime of Initial D.

Since this car is one of the stars around late 80's and early 90's, eventually this is my favorite Mazda RX-7... it looks just so cool then and even now I still think that it is an interesting car...

Nonetheless, this 1/24 scale die cast model is made by Jada Toys. Though they said in their website "Keeping It Real" - well I guess for the car part it is quite real but the decals is annoyingly and totally different from what we seen in the anime... Apart from the RedSuns stuff, all the decals on the door really looks strange... I don't know why they change the decals but my guess is maybe because of licensing and copyrights legal stuff whatever it is... maybe, just maybe...

Let's have a look at this car...










Openable door... I love this...



Openable boot and engine hood to reveal the engine... I really love this...



The dashboard have quite decent details...




The openable boot... quite nice...




Those lovely engine details... but somehow they just make it all in silver/chrome color... would be nice if they paint it accordingly but at 1/24 scale I guess I'm quite grateful with it..,.



Looking awesome though I don't know much about car's engine anyway...



The final photo....




Overall this is quite a decent 1/24 die cast car models from JadaToys. Looking pretty nice and have quite interesting details and openable parts to compensate those strange decals... Not a perfect model but those interesting features can make me forgot all the shortcomings.

We get this at a bargain price of SGD 40.00 (original retail price is SGD 49.90) so can't complain much...
