His car is Peugeot 403Cabriolet, 2-door, convertible type. Though I looked for the kit of it, could not find. So I decided to make 1/35 scale Peugeot 403 by myself.
After having made, I knew that there was a kit of it. But it was based on the 4-door, hard-top type and the scale was 1/43.
403 kit from Heller -->

I got the information about the size of the car.
