I built this 1/24 scale model car to replicate Ben S’ LS-1 powered FD RX-7. Ben has been a long time client and friend of the shop and I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this beast in action at several track days. Since he’s recently been back to ZCG for even more power upgrades I thought it would be fitting to share the model with you. When I built it years ago I used a little “artistic license” and added a few items that weren’t exactly faithful to the original car (VOLK wheels, f/r spoilers)..but still cool to me.
Here are a few in-progress pics along with the final product, enjoy!
I tried to capture most of the item visible in the engine bay like the oil catch can, EDFC, ABS line plumbing, oil dipstick, heater hose, clamps, etc. The exhaust has welds to simulate the mandrels. License plate is a photoreduction of the real thing.
Look for a full update on the Ben’s now-500hp RX-7!
