1/24 Suzuki Sports Alto Works N-1 Version

Fujimi's "K-Car" Series covers Japan's "light cars" (in Japanese, "kei"--pronounced "K"--means "light"), which have engines of 660cc or less to earn numerous tax and insurance benefits under Japanese laws. These cars have extremely light bodies to give their tiny engines some hope of moving them at normal traffic speeds, and are frequently equipped with turbochargers. Kits in the series have metal axles and rubber tires, although the wheels do not steer. Detail is good. This model depicts the Suzuki Alto car all gussied up in Suzuki Sports Alto Works racing livery, with roll cage and racing seat, plus aero parts and bright race graphics. Al parts are molded in white (aside from the clear parts and black rubber tires, of course!). A curbside model, with no engine detail.
