maysula Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hi This is my last finished kit this year. A new one from Revell, very nice to build. Not fond of building street cars so I gave it a little racing look :-) Some details on the engine and also a few other racing stuff. Painted with Tamiya spraycans , racing white and orange + clear.

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Beautiful. "Racing Isetta" must rank as one of the truly great non sequiturs. I had saved one of these little guys from the crusher, non-running, and dragged it home many many years ago. My idiot girlfriend at the time sold it for $50 while I was out of town, and thought she'd really done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thomas, could not be better in any way. Novel and beautiful. A racing roller skate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRed Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 These are really neat little cars. I love the opening "front door". Although I'd be a little nervous tooling down the autobahn in one of these. Really cool build, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacho Z Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 This is too cool! I got a good chuckle out of this. You did a nice job on the building of this kit. The racing theme is icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Ha! I love it!! Funny story about this car-----My Dad knew someone that had one of these back in the late '50's. He was telling me that his friend went to the store to pick up something, and when he came back out someone had parked right smack in front of him to where he couldn't get the door open! He had to wait something like a half hour till whomever it was that owned it came out moved it. Needless to say he was careful where he parked it after that! Neat and cute little car! Years ago, I saw what looked like one of these parked under a tarp (the narrow track of the rear wheels was a giveaway) on the side of the road not far from where I live. For whatever reason, I never got nosy to see if indeed that was an Isetta, but it sat there for maybe a couple years. The car's gone now so I don't know if it was sent to be junked, or someone I hope rescued it and restored it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That's a really great build of that old oddball car. I didn't know they was such a kit in 1/16th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car's gone now so I don't know if it was sent to be junked, or someone I hope rescued it and restored it somewhere. A friend and I went skiing in one (no, really). While the two front wheels were happily travelling in the grooves formed by other cars in the snowy road surface,the almost twinned rear ones lolloped on top of the snow accumulation between the grooves. The inevitable happened. The car did a sudden right and went head on into a snow mound.Neither could we reverse out of it, nor open the door, nor escape via the sunroof, courtesy of the skis mounted up there. A few pedestrians finally had the heart to give us a push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
