Hasegawa 1/24 Subaru 360 Young SS Plastic Model HC6

Product introduction The Subaru 360 has remained unchanged in its basic style since its release, and is affectionately known as the ladybug due to its cute body style.As a pioneer of the private car era, it is a national car that will remain in many people's memories for a long time. In response to the concept of a national car presented by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry in May 1955, Fuji Heavy Industries created the Subaru 360 by leveraging aircraft technology derived from the former Nakajima Airplane. The body was the first domestically produced car to adopt a monocoque structure, giving it a streamlined and unique style. We strive to eliminate waste and thoroughly pursue functionality, such as a spacious interior that can comfortably accommodate four adults, an easy-to-drive, nimble ride, and economic efficiency. Since it was officially announced in March 1953, variations have increased due to the diversification of various needs. In August 1960, a convertible model was announced to coincide with the advent of the leisure era, and in December of the same year, it was commercialized as a cargo/passenger vehicle.In September 1963, the Deluxe was derived from the standard model, and the Super Deluxe with additional equipment was born. The Young SS, which was announced in November 1963, was Young's dream model at a time when light cars were becoming more powerful. Cumulative production of the Subaru 360 has reached 500,000 units, making it one of Japan's most representative minicars. *This product is a plastic model that requires assembly and painting. *Adhesive, tools, paint, etc. are required separately for assembly and painting. * Plastic model is a registered trademark owned by the Japan Plastic Model Industry Cooperative. *This product does not include adhesives, paint, tools, batteries, etc. safety warning Not applicable
