Hasegawa 52752 - 1/24 Rear-Engine, Rear-Wheel-Drive Subaru 360 Plastic Model Kit  [HA-52752]

Hasegawa 52752 - Subaru 360 Yoroshiku Mechadock 1/24 decal edition

This 1/24 scale plastic model kit represents the rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive Subaru 360 and is offered as a limited-run decal edition in the manufacturer's car series.

Introduced by Fuji Heavy Industries in the late 1950s, the Subaru 360 was a compact kei car developed for postwar Japanese motorists. Built through the 1960s, it featured a lightweight body and a small-displacement air-cooled two-cylinder engine mounted at the rear. The model is noted as an early affordable passenger car that helped broaden personal mobility during that period.

Builder notes highlight scale accuracy and careful decal placement. This release pairs a compact 1/24 plastic assembly with a themed decal sheet reflecting the Yoroshiku Mechadock livery; precise decal alignment and thoughtful masking will influence the final appearance. Standard modelling tasks such as seam removal, surface preparation, and paintwork apply. The simple mechanical layout and small body make this subject well suited to display-focused builds where surface finish and decal registration are priorities.

This limited decal release delivers a faithful small-format Subaru 360 that appeals to builders who prioritise display finishing and livery accuracy.
