Speaking of small, okay...tiny, motorcars.

I have opened the bags of a 1/48 Tamiya Ki-61 "with Kurogane" or something like that.

It is sma-aaaaa-ll. If you want it. PM me your address and I'll send it off.

I think China and the Philippines, even in the 1930s-40s, are as different from North Africa as one can imagine. But looking at the kit, in its own bags, it still reminds me of your subjects.
