Somebody (besides Model Factory Hiro) REALLY needs to release a 1/24 kit of this car. And the Huracan GT3, too.

And like you said having MFH make these kits doesn't help guys like me that can't afford them, nor have the skills to build them. joel |

It seems like Nunu is into more recent cars, so maybe there's hope. Ben |

Ben,
Not sure about Tamiya re-releasing the787b but I think that Hasegawa is releasing their's which is basically a curbside. On the positive side, I've got the Tamiya kit and have been searching and searching for the Studio27 decal Charge sheet hopefully USA based, but couldn't find one. The Spot of Spain, who I deal with all the time had 3 listed last month with 5 people having the sheet in their basket. So I placed an order for a few decal sheets including that sheet as it's 1st come with cash in their hands gets the product. And I actually got it!

There was an announcement in late 2019 that Tamiya was going to reissue the 787b in 2020, but then nothing. It might have been for their 1/24 RC car.
Unfortunately, the Hasegawa kit is the 767b, which is significantly different from the 787b. I built one last year. It's a fun kit. Mazda painted two (I think) 767s in the green/day glo red Charge colors. I ordered some stuff from BNA Model World in Australia last month and picked up the Hobby Design decals for the Charge 787b, just in case Tamiya reissues the kit someday.

Ben,
Thanks for the info. I'm sure that as soon as I actually start my 787b, you'll post your opening build blog post. Now that would indeed be fun.
