traditional Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I really like microcars (my brother and I have restored a few over the years) and when Schuco introduced a 1/18 Isocarro pickup I was so disappointed that they'd copied an example that used a kluged pickup box instead of the original sheet-metal version. I took a chance that the box could be removed (it could, luckily) and I then made a facsimile of the original box using sheet styrene. I'll now be pleased to see a more accurate model of the Isocarro under the Xmas tree this year.

peekay Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Very nicely done and you matched the blue paint really well. The model makes more sense like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
