Scale Protege Model?

I was wondering if anyone knows if company like Tamiya (good quality models) have ever made any of the Proteges/Familia GTX or GTRs?
Afew years back I used to do 1:20 scale F1 models. I just thought it would be cool to have one of my Pro or a GT-R!

I'd be interested too. I have a feeling they don't though. I used to search tamiya kits at hobby stores for the not so popular cars, and I don't believe I ever saw -any- proteges/323s. I think about the only Mazda ones were RX-7, Miata, and the 1991 LeMans winning 787B racecar.

Of the Mazda's I've built an FD, FC coupe, FC vert, and the 787B is halfway done

I've been looking too. I've got the guy at this nearby model shop looking. He had some of those mid-90's Civic hatchbacks from some Japanese model company, so I'm hoping they'll make a P5 eventually.

BTW, he looks just like the Comic-book guy from the Simpsons...

I have found a mazda model on e-bay. I am not great with a computer so I don't know how to get the site from e-bay to here. I did however type in mazda toys and this one car pulled up. It was a red car and the box was in japanese but it did say familia on it . It also said: Yonezawa Toys Diapet G-141 Mazda. Can someone pull it up and get it to this site. By the way, if I see a product on e-bay and want to include the link in my post, how do I do it ?

You can simply copy (ctrl + c) and paste (ctrl + v) the link. Or in the box above (when replying) click on the button that says "http://" and paste it in there. I'm gonna go search e-gay for the one you found.

I hope that Hot Wheels will make one soon in big scale. Because the have made a Focus and a Civic in 1:18 scale, but the model were all riced out and looked like this:

I found this site, they've got some cool stuff. No P5, but they do have a few Miatas, an Atenza (6), even an MPV. May be a good place to check up on in the future.
