Fujimi also allows us the option of building this version, with a complete part list where the engine is the protagonist, since many of its components are visible with the hood closed. Not to be missed!

In the 60s, in the automobile world, design prevailed over other features, and that trend also reached gas stations, where the pumps of each of the brands became a symbol of differentiation.
