This was a fun, relaxing build. The fit oif the parts was excellent - no surprises during assembly and, as the ladies say.."It's just too cute!"

That looks really cool!  Great color choices, were the seat patterns decals in the kit?

thank you all for your positive comments.

bbowser... apologies for the delay in replying. The decal sheet does  offer one  choice for the seat pattern - basically black squares with  a thin blue line separating them. I downloaded some plaid patterns, duplicated the swatch I liked until I had an area big enough to cover the seat and then printed it. I then trimmed the print to fit and glued it to the model with white glue.

below is a link to a review which has a photo of the decal sheet...

Looks great!

Very cool. I bet in 1/16 it's not alot bigger than most 1/25 cars.

Very cool.  Who would think to build one.  I wonder what they are like or were like to drive?   Great job.

Wowee, You've made a super job of this one! There were a lot of these plus Messerschmitt's  on the streets here in the UK when I was growing up 1948 onwards.  These in particular were easy to park, drive forwards to the kerb, open the 'front' door and step onto the pavement.

That's a realistic one. Almost can hear that tiny engine.

Those little cars were manufactured here in Brasil by Romi industrial LTDA Company, and the cars were called Romi-Isettas. They are kind of big (no pun intended) on cars shows around my corner of the woods. There is always one or two. I think they make great weather proof motorcycles, but if intended as a car, it's a big not, thanks.
