Italeri 1/12 Fiat 500f 1968 Car Model Kit

The Fiat 500F is the definitive version of the original Cinquecento, the tiny rear-engined city car that motorized postwar Italy. Its 499cc air-cooled twin-cylinder engine produced a modest 18 HP, yet the 500 could carry four adults (intimately) at highway speeds. The F-series (1965-1972) introduced front-hinged "suicide" doors and became the most-produced variant. Italy's answer to the Volkswagen Beetle, the 500 was democratic transportation that became a design icon. This large 1/12 Italeri kit reveals the charming engineering of this beloved Italian microcar.
