Well Guy..... this is quite something..... a 1:16 scale Revell BMW Isetta 250 bubble car! This is a most unusual subject for a build, and an even more unusual choice for a custom build. Everything about your scale model and the superb paint finish is absolutely right. Those modifications are excellent and you clearly thought those through carefully. Several of your photos have captured the look of the real car. Features like the opening front door, the luggage case on the rack, the exhaust , the sunroof make this model very interesting, and even the wheels really suit the whole custom appearance. Looks like Revell came up with a Tamiya-like quality on this one. Until I saw this Under Glass posted topic of yours, I had never even looked at this kit, and I probably wasn't aware that it existed. You must be extremely pleased with how this has turned out Guy.

Thanks David 

I thoroughly recommend this kit. I managed to get it for about 20 quid.

It would also make a great barn-find, all weathered and dirty.

maybe I'll do another ...?

I never thought an Isetta could be turned into a really cool ride!  The wheels really make it for me! But so is the exhaust!  Even the "removable trunk" is cool     Great job ob this one.
