"Brazil" Movie Messerschmitt KR200

[spencer1984]

Built from the Gunze-Sangyo's curbside release of their Messerschmitt KR200 kit, to be Jonathan Pryce's car from the 1985 Terry Gilliam cult classic Brazil. Converted the front fenders to the older closed style, scratch bulit front bumper and rear engine, and used my own custom decals. A full writeup of the project is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

I love movie cars, seen Brazil a few times......I need to watch again. Very clean job, cool idea!

Cool project and really nice looking results

Cool looking Messerschmitt. I am not aware of the movie, though. If Terry Gilliam is behind it, then I need to watch it. In fact, by looking at that build, I can tell I need to see this movie.

Thanks, guys - it was definitely a fun change of pace!

It's well worth watching, but go for the director's cut. I know that sometimes that just makes the movie longer, but Brazil is one of those where the studio just didn't get it and seriously tanked the theatrical cut by giving it a happy ending (Gilliam's working title for it was 1984½, so that should sum it up right there).

I'm a sucker for odd little cars, so it was definitely fun to give this a shot!

Can't get much more fun and off the wall than that one! Nice job! I'm still chuckling.

As intriguing and surreal the movie "Brazil", I thought it was a fictional concept......but .... Wow!
