● Item Introduction

The SUHA 43 Series is a passenger car that was mass-produced in over 1,000 units and is considered a key representative of the JNR era.

● Years of mass production led to a variety of different versions being developed, from changes in paint scheme to various modifications, making it a model that has undergone many design changes. Operating on a national scale on various lines, from express trains to local trains, it was a familiar train that could be seen almost anywhere. Even after the transition to JR, it continued to run for events, etc.

◆ Perfect for combining with various locomotives from the JNR era, including the <1-203 (HO) D51 Locomotive> scheduled for release this March! Using books, videos, and other materials as references, you can re-create formations in your own unique way for added fun.

◆ This product is a re-release.
