Mazda 787B Body Kit

The Mazda 787B immortalised in body kit by Slot.it

Few racing cars generate as much excitement as the Mazda 787B. The only Japanese car —and the only one with a rotary engine— to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it did so in 1991 in an absolutely convincing manner. Now Slot.it pays tribute to this icon with a body kit, reference SICS15B, aimed at those who want to go a step beyond standard assembly.

Features and highlights

• Body kit: supplied unpainted and undecorated, ready for you to apply your own livery or reproduce one of the historical competition decorations.
• Manufacturer Slot.it: leading Italian brand in the sector, recognised for dimensional precision, the detail of its moulds, and the quality of the plastic used.
• Reference SICS15B: identifies the body kit of the Mazda 787B within Slot.it's catalogue of loose bodies.
• Scale 1/32: universal standard in the world of competitive slot racing and collecting.

Scale and level of detail

Slot.it works its bodies with high-precision moulds that faithfully reproduce the characteristic lines of the real prototype: the aggressive nose, the Group C profile, and the air outlets that make the 787B unmistakable. Upon receiving it in kit format unpainted, every detail of the mould is visible, which facilitates masking and surface preparation before painting.

Preparation and painting

As this is a body kit, the finishing process is entirely in your hands. Some recommendations for achieving the best result:

• Clean the body with warm water and a little neutral soap to remove any release agent residues before priming.
• Apply a primer compatible with plastic (Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido offer good options in spray or for airbrush).
• For competition liveries —especially the iconic decoration in colours of the Mazda Speed team with the number 55 from the winning Le Mans 1991 edition— aftermarket decals are your best ally for achieving a display-quality finish.
• Protect with a matte or satin finish varnish according to the chosen livery.

Track behaviour

This reference is a loose body, so its track behaviour will depend on the chassis you mount it on. Slot.it designs its bodies to fit with its ecosystem of chassis and bases, ensuring precise alignment that does not penalise performance. If you already have a compatible Slot.it chassis for the 787B, the fit is direct and without modifications.

Ideal for…

• Collectors who want a unique piece with a custom finish.
• Miniature and model painting enthusiasts looking for a challenge with real competition character.
• Club competitors who wish to renew the body of their slot car while maintaining the iconic reference of the 787B.
• Lovers of Le Mans history and Japanese motorsport.

Aspects to consider

This reference corresponds exclusively to the body kit. It does not include chassis, motor, wheels, or any other mechanical components. Verify compatibility with your chassis before placing the order if your goal is to mount it on an existing setup.

Frequently asked questions

Does the SICS15B body come painted or in white?

It comes unpainted and undecorated, in the colour of the moulded plastic. This is precisely its proposal: for you to choose and apply the final finish.

Which Slot.it chassis is compatible with this body?

Slot.it designs its bodies to fit with its range of chassis. We recommend checking the updated Slot.it catalogue or contacting us to confirm the exact compatibility with the chassis you have or wish to use.

What paints do you recommend for this body?

For plastic, the lines from Vallejo, Tamiya, and Kaleido work very well both with brush and airbrush. By priming it correctly before painting, the results are excellent and adhesion is not an issue.

Does it include decals or decoration of any kind?

It does not include decals. If you want to reproduce a specific historical decoration, you will need to obtain them separately, either from Slot.it's own catalogue if they sell them separately, or from aftermarket manufacturers specialising in Le Mans prototypes.

Is it suitable for track use or just for display?

Once painted and mounted on a compatible chassis, it can be perfectly used on track. The body does not lose functionality for being a kit; it simply requires the prior work of preparation and painting.
