This kit differs from Fujimi's Super Mechanic series, the body no longer
has slots around the head light lids and the floorpan is different and slightly better detailed.
A full interior tub is offered and although the ID models can be motorized,
the batteries (2x AA) are now hidden in the nose.
This kit is basically the circuit racer version
(kit nrs. ID-1 and SM-07) without racing decals. The decals in this kit
depict an RX-7 E-SA22C with turbocharged 12A engine. Also new are the Impul wheels.
Note that the original 1st gen Rx-7 Turbo (manufactured exclusively for the
Japanese market in 1984 and 1985) had the final FB22 body style, not the
pre-1980 body style in this kit.
