[Product Introduction]
FUJIMI 1/24 Car NEXT Series No.19 Suzuki Jimny JB64 (XC/Jungle Green). Introducing the Jungle Green version of the current Jimny XC! The product is a kit that requires assembly. It is 1/24 scale. No painting required: Each part is colored with the molding color, and the body has a glossy texture that cannot be obtained with painting. No gluing required: Designed to fit parts together for easy assembly. JB64 is the current model that appeared in 2018 as the fourth generation of Jimny. Unlike the previous JB23, which had a curved appearance, it now has a square body that is even more reminiscent of the previous/second generation Jimny. Mechanisms such as the ladder frame and rigid axle suspension follow those of the previous generation, and both high off-road performance and improved on-road performance have been achieved. There are 3 types of grades, starting from XC/XL/XG, with multiple monotone colors available, and only the XC comes with a 2-tone black top. The product is based on the JB64W-1 type XC grade that was launched in 2018. The XC grade features special aluminum wheels and mirrors with turn lamps. The size unique to 1/24 scale accurately reproduces detailed modeling. The body uses a special molding material to reproduce a level of gloss that is difficult to express with paint. Molding colors consist of 7 types: jungle green, black, silver, gunmetallic, clear smoke, clear, and clear red. Even when assembled straight, the colored parts give a visual appearance, and the part-divided body that greatly reduces masking work even when painted is box-shaped with a slide mold, accurately reproducing the square style. A standard structure for the NEXT series of cars, in which the bonnet, rear, roof, etc. are laminated into body parts. Concave molds such as door panels have a sharp depth to accommodate paint stains. The lower part has a structure in which the ladder frame is a separate part and additional parts are attached to it. The leading arm/trading arm, front and rear differential gear cases, and drive shaft are made into separate parts. The suspension shape is three-dimensional with a 4AT car motif. The headlight uses a special part that uses the LED light type that is only available on the XC. (The representation of the headlight washers is omitted due to mold limitations.) The side mirrors reproduce the XC-specific shape with embedded turn lights. The glass and frame of the driver's and passenger's windows are designed separately, eliminating the need for sticker coloring or masking during painting. The rear window (side/rear) is specially molded in smoke color to express the color difference with the front side. The wiper arm/blade is a delicately thin molded part that gives it a realistic feel, and the concave shape of the blade surface is also expressed in minute engraving. The steering wheel and instrument panel are exclusive parts that reproduce the characteristics of the XC. The seat is a two-piece structure to reproduce the shape of both the seat side and the back, and the rear seat headrest is reproduced in the lowered position. Uses aluminum wheels exclusively for the XC grade, realistically reproduced with gunmetal molding color. The tires are molded from rubber resin using a special mold (new mold), and 175/80R16 size on-road tires are included. The included stickers reproduce the detailed coloring, and are cut out and can be easily pasted. The sticker includes the meter panel, logo, vehicle number, etc. The spare tire on the back is made of the same rubber material as the four wheels. The rear light is made by layering clear red and clear molded colored parts to reproduce a two-color light lens. The light is expressed by delicately carving the curved surface of the reflector and the bulb.
