Revell of Germany's kit. I love oddball cars and aircraft, and this certainly fits the bill! Little 2 cylinder air cooled engine.

That is spectacular! Almost a "Beetle", but with some style.

Looks very nice MP! Like Lyle, I also think that it does have some resemblance to a Bug. But with a touch of M.G. as well :hmm: Only a two cylinder engine?
What scale is this?

excellent! Really nicely done. And a subject you rarely see. Cool colors as well. :shoutout:

I've got a Revell Isetta in the stash - maybe we should do a quirky group build :hmm:

Any interest in parting with it?

Nice work!
Is this the one that could be completely dissembled with a single spanner and a screw driver? That guy got stuck in the desert with one and turned it into a motorbike.
