There were a lot of RX-7 kits made over the years, some are re-released and new ones or new versions of familiar kits keep surfacing.
I've had quite a number of questions about where to find particular kits, enough to dedicate this web page to the subject.
Initially I had created this page for my own use as a quick and convenient way to check what kits are available.
For websites that offer a programmable search function I added a button or link to launch inventory searches for RX-7 or Mazda.
These links and queries are straight searches, identical to performing a search on the website of the shop, no affiliate links, no commissions involved.
Where better to look for the latest Japanese kits than in Japan ?
Unfortunately Rainbow 10, my long-time favorite Japanese model shop, has stopped handling foreign orders.
That leaves two Japanese-based online shops I know of that deal with foreign orders, Hobby Link Japan and Hobby Search.
is a web-based model shop, they don't have all of the kits listed actually in stock,
their catalog lists all kits that manufacturers can supply, the lists include a Stock Status indicating if a kit is in stock or if it is no longer available.
The links below launch searches through HLJ's online catalog for any RX-7 or Mazda kits.
is a web based shop that lists all available kits on its site, color codes indicate whether kits are in stock and if these can be ordered or reserved.

US mail order shop, their model kits department has moved to website Discount Plastic Models.
Sells a lot of discounted kits of US manufacture (Revell-Monogram, ERTL, AMT), often stock kits that are out of production.
European Shops
The following shops are not just for buying model kits of European manufacture, but if you live in Europe, Far-Eastern products might also be bought cheaper overall (no additional import duties) at these shops.
I have good experiences with the following shops:
This shop is located in the United Kingdom and is specialized in model cars and bikes. It offers a staggering selection of aftermarket sets (upgrade sets, decals, transkits, paints).
This Spanish based webshop offers a vast selection of model car kits and related products, with an emphasis on race cars and (hard to find) upgrade parts. Shipping is fast at reasonable costs and goods are very well packaged.
This shop also offers a unique custom decal printing service.
This is an actual model car shop based in Holland. It carries a wide range of car models (both diecasts and model kits) and an equally wide range of accessories and paints (Zero Paints, Scale Motor Sports, USCP, a.o.).
This is a webshop but a Toyman sales booth can often be found at model car related events in Holland and Belgium such as the NAMAC Beurs and Euro Scale Modelling. Specializes in US model car kits, often stocks kits that are hard to find elsewhere in Europe.
