Andrew Doppel Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 A mate of mine is looking for a model kit of a Nisaan NA MX-5 Convertible. Does anyone know if there is a kit manufacturer that produces a kit of this car? TIA Regards Andrew Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie Cheetah Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Ummm, Isn't the MX-5 a Mazda Miata? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony P Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Sure is and apparently the original versions were Australia Exports. Tamiya has a kit in 1/24 Andrew. That's from the early 1990's and is a first gen Mx-5. Hope this helps. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Contemporary to their introduction in the very late 80's, there was a small, Front wheel drive 2 seat convertible, I seem to recall sold under the name "Capri" that I think had Aussie origins, but not the Miata. Not sure how Nissan found it's way into this mix at all. -Kevin in Indy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony P Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 My mistake Kevin. It was the Ford/Mercury Capri. It was 20 years ago! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
