Hi Stealth,
These Japanese Tin Type 3 Fastback cars were made by Ichimura . They most commonly came in solid black, red or light blue, and I have seen a few styles of the original boxes, which also have the company's Indian Head trademark.
Ichimura also made them as notchbacks in the same colours, aswell as rarer versions such as a race car and ?? ADAC or green/white police car.
When I work out how to post pictures, I'll post some photo's of my own cars,
Cheers. 🙂
