Furuta Kei cars

[only87]

The next release from Furuta seems to be a 9+1 set of the typical Japanese K-cars:

Regarding scale accuracy this is very promising as the smallest Furuta models (Mazda Carol, Honda N360,...) were very close to 1/87. Hopefully there will be a Subaru 360 in it.

Oh, I am giddy now. Ho ho ho. I am so very very very excited indeed. Ebay here I come!

I can clearly see a Suzuki Wagon R on the box. This might be interesting for European modellers as well, although the version sold in Europe has a wider body than the Kei Jidosha JDM version.

I also found Furuta's website, but no word on the K-cars yet. Here is the address for the Choco-Egg series, which includes the car models (it's not listed on the 87thscale manufacturer's listing, perhaps the editors would care to update?):

Let's guess:

Mitsubishi Minica Toppo
Suzuki Alto Works '90 (wishful thinking)
Suzuki Twin
Suzuki Wagon R
Suzuki Cappuccino
Subaru 360 (boring, but probably inevitable)
Daihatsu Atrai
Autozam AZ-1
Honda Today '85
secret model: Mitsubishi Minica 360 (1963)

If I modify this list, you know I've been cheating... I just realized that I have posted three responses to a thread no one but I and Peter care about. I am clearly a dork.

Dear All:

I already got some of the Nissans, Toyota Series 2 and Honda (specially the Station Wagon). I will be watching the dealers who carry them and as soon I see some of the above list there they come.

I also appreciate their re-sealing packs. A very high point for me here.

I hope they will ever come with a real good model of the Isuzu Bellet
