The model is divided into six parts in accordance with Mr. Cecchini’s drawing (Nov 2010): Loc A: this corresponds to the upper left corner: on the left hand side there is a yellow and red food truck with a white apex. Called the "BAR AMAR CONFISERIE” [AMAR CONFECTIONERY BAR], it has several figures in front of it. On the upper side making the corner, there is a gray truck with two trailers and, between the two, a red-and-white-striped fiberboard roof below which are two figures.
