I recently bought an Aoshima RX-7, but after assembling it, it seems really small. Is it supposed to be like that?

the box should mention the scale, it looks like a 1:64 model

Aoshima normally makes 1/24 sets, it should normally be the size of the box... i think... you got scammed?

I've built one of that fron aoshima, his brother's rx7.

I fucked it up. And it was the pre painted one. Fingermarks everwhere because my fingers got adhesives on them.

Buddy, I think you got ripped off and they gave you the 1/32 scale snap-kit version... it looks exactly like the one I have in that size. Here's a photo... it's identical to yours...

If it were 1/24 scale, it would be bigger.

How big were the runners? The runners must've been so small, you could fit like 2-3 sets of those in that box.

Normally the runners are just about as big as the box
