Great looking build my friend, I hope you and your family had a nice Christmas and your brother was thrilled to receive a replica of his beloved car. Happy new year in advance and I'm looking forward to your channel updates for 2024!

Thank you my friend. Yes, he was really happy with it and impressed I was able to colour match the paint too. Happy New Year and I too look forward to your work in 2024.

My mrs has a mk2 mx5 and been looking at this kit on ebay thinking about making a replica, not seen for £25, mostly about £40. It does look extrwmely similar to the Tamiya Mk1 ive built and really enjoyed. Just a different body. Also like the soft roof extra and the metal badges that Tamiya doesnt come with

[@BOABModels]

It is quite similar to that kit but has more options. Have a look on Kent Models (where I got this one) and you can use my personal discount code BOAB10 for 10% off. If they don't have it in stock, drop them an email and they may be able to get one for you 👍🏻 I hope you can get one for your Mrs!

Nice build! I have one of these, haven't decided on a color. One of the tiny metal sticker logos says Miata MX5 which is the name Mazda used in the Canadian market before switching to just "MX5" for the 3rd generation so I'll be crafting mine as a left hand drive Canadian car when i do decide on a color.

Glad you liked the video and I hope it helps with yours!

Great build Thomas, it came out really nice. My last real car was a MK 1 version, Japanese import, it had eunos roadster markings, being an import it had to have a rear fog light added but had two yellow ones in the front in the bottom scoop. Happy holidays and model on

Thanks very much, Sarah Jane. I've been a fan of the car for a long time and I love the Eunos Roadster. What colour was yours? Happy holidays

@@BOABModels my car was black, being a v spec version it had different wheels, engine cross brace and up rated suspension, being the 1800cc it had all round disc brakes, 1600cc didn’t on the mk1. I had the hard top as well but only used it in winter, as long as there wasn’t any snow, MX5’s are too light and impossible in the snow :)
