This model assembly kit recreates the Mazda MX-5 (also known as the Miata MX-5 in the US and Roadster in Japan). Specifically, the kit recreates the RF model that was originally announced by Mazda in 2016: the initials stand for Retractable Fastback, as the car features a sleek fastback hard-top design with innovative retractable roof. The actual car's three-piece roof opens and closes in just thirteen seconds, at the push of a single button. It also features tweaks to its chassis and suspension to accommodate the heavier top section, while retaining all of Mazda's vaunted safety features.
