Welcome back to BOAB Models - today we're unboxing the newly re-released Fiat 500f in 1/24 scale from Tamiya. This kit has a great range of options including 2 sets of livery decals.
The Fiat 500 (Italian: Cinquecento) is an economy / city car that was manufactured and marketed by Fiat Automobiles from 1957 until 1975. It was sold as a two-door semi-convertible or saloon car and as a three-door panel van or estate car.

Would you use the decals or go for a classic look?

[@BarricaG]

I'd probably use the Italian stripes, as I quite liked the suggested ivory scheme.

[@richardlee1092]

Thanks for the unboxing! That’s a great looking kit. I had one. I gave it away when I was thinning my herd. Look forward to your build.

[@BOABModels]

Thanks, Richard. These were going for quite a bit on eBay before Tamiya reissued them. I started it last week and I will probably finish it soon.

[@BarricaG]

Great unboxing! I'm actually happy Tamiya re-released this kit, as I didn't get it the first time around, and it's a beautiful little car. The expanded decal sheet is a good surprise also.

[@BOABModels]

Yeah, that decal sheet would be tiny without the extras! It's a great addition to the range as it's such an iconic car.

Nice unboxing there Thomas, cool kit and interesting story about the real 500. Nice comparison with the Mini too, never thought the 500 was that much smaller compared to it!

[@BOABModels]

Yeah, I've not had much of a chance to compare them either. You don't see the original 500 on the road much in the UK. The new one however is everywhere

[@scaleffect]

Nice to see what's inside, I'm keen on getting these re-released 500s and the Alfa.

[@BOABModels]

Yeah, I totally agree with the Alfa too. I've seen that go for a lot on eBay recently

[@cyclerevive]

Looks like a really nice kit.

[@BOABModels]

Thanks, I agree

[@richardbeal4917]

I just finished this on the weekend racing white with the Italian flag stripes 😂

[@BOABModels]

I was very tempted to go for that look.

[@Sarah-JaneR32]

Nice little kit, not too basic either with the engine detail, I’d have to do a motorsport version obviously :) look forward to seeing what you do, model on

[@BOABModels]

Thanks, Sarah Jane. I just found out Tamiya are also reissuing the Abarth 695 version of this kit. I wish I'd realized that before doing this video as I would have mentioned it!

[@Sarah-JaneR32]

@@BOABModels haha, that’s always the way isn’t it :) love to see you do the 1/12th version, Italeri I think, although I believe the scale suspension is a bit weak to support it, model on

Absolutely!

Hello. Did you receive any sponsorship fees from Tamiya to shoot this video or did they give you this product as a gift?

[@BOABModels]

Hi. Not for this; it was a birthday present from my sister. I've done some promotional videos for online stores like Kent Models and D.Model kits but not for Tamiya.

[@kamiltaylanavci9271]

@@BOABModels I want to open a KZbin channel, but I don't know how many thousands of subscribers brands become sponsors and how many dollars of sponsorship fees they pay after becoming a sponsor. Can you give me information about this?
