Sports Car Papercraft: Abarth 500
In the above photo are two different 1:24 scale Abarth 500 paper models by Japanese papercraft artist Takashi Akira. The Abarth is a performance model of the Fiat 500. The lower car is the standard Abarth 500 while the upper car is the Abarth 500 Esseesse which has a "Super Sport" trim package (Esseesse = SS = Super Sport, get it?). Akira's papercraft templates are available for free at the Abarth Japanese Official Fan Site. Look for the red download links just below the images of templates and instructions. And yes, the crate with the spare wheels is included with the template for the Abarth 500 Esseesse. :)
