Passion red is the car, passion red is the box, and passion is the only thing what will guide you building this kit from start to end, thanks to their easiness. The bodywork is injected in just one piece, rims are chromed, tyres are rubber made, and the decals are just perfect.

In the 1990s, Williams Team dramatically innovated Formula 1 with its technological advances, and Fujimi has done the same with the injection molding of this kit. There is more to see the rear spoiler, executed in one piece. Simply spectacular. As usual, the kit does not include tobacco advertising decals.
