| Kyosho No surprise this is another Japanese model but this time in solid resin in the Kyosho Old Timers Series. Solid models are usually home made and rather amateur but this is definitely professionally done and most impressive, in spite of black gloss painted windows. Reference N.63110 from 2001.
