Aoshima 05227 Daihatsu L880K Copen Ultimate Edition 06 1/24

The Aoshima 05227 Daihatsu L880K Copen Ultimate Edition 06 plastic model kit in the popular 1/24 scale is a detailed replica of one of the most recognizable kei-cars from Japan. This unique model represents the 2006 Ultimate Edition version, which stood out with richer equipment and sporty styling details compared to the standard Daihatsu Copen models.

The depicted car was primarily used in Japan and intended for the Asian market in the modern era (from the beginning of production in 2002 to the end of the L880K series in 2012). The Copen debuted as a modern roadster with an electrically operated folding roof and a turbocharged 660cc engine, meeting both kei-car regulations and the expectations of sports driving enthusiasts within compact dimensions. The Ultimate Edition was the top-of-the-line version, featuring exclusive wheels, upholstery, and additional interior elements.
