VanGoGo Posted September 28 Posted September 28 This is the Revell 1:16 scale BMW Isetta, kit went together very nice and lotsa detail. I printed my own decals for the plaid interior and aligator suitcase, other than that its box stock~ 15
Andria H Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Looks good. I'm wanting to build one as an unrestored Isetta. Sacrilege, I know 1
Hi-Po Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Nicely done with great attention to detail. I like it! 1
Kah puts Posted September 29 Posted September 29 What a realistic model, you’ve done a wonderful job 👍 1
Bainford Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Stunning little Isetta. I love these quirky little cars. You have done a beautiful job of putting this one together. 1
espo Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Beautiful paint colors and finishes. Very realistic looking interior detailing. 1
Phildaupho Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Very nice. I have a 1/24 kit so yours is inspirational. 1
Cosmic D Posted September 30 Posted September 30 (edited) I would love to build one of these but the availability is pretty spotty - your build is perfect and you've really done it proud. I LOVE 1/16. Edited September 30 by Cosmic D 1
ea0863 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Such a well done build of a model that I didn't even know existed! At 1:16th scale, it must be at least 5 inches long 1
Kanada Kustoms Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Love these cars. Great build. I especially like the interior and luggage rack! 1
PatW Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Wow! We used to see lots of those on the street as a youngster! 1
papajohn97 Posted October 3 Posted October 3 (edited) Great job Vince on this big Revell Isetta. That two-tone blue&white is a perfect period correct choice and looks really good with the plaid. I love that Revell engineered the kit so that the steering column/ wheel articulates outward when the door opens, a really cool feature. I built this kit when it was first released (2016?) and remember it going together like a Tamiya, your build makes me want to do another one. I did a search and it looks like the original kit is no longer available. Revell Germany has just released a new "70th Anniversary" edition which includes a book but unfortunately it doesn't appear to be available within the US yet: I purchased the Revell Trabant Anniversary edition with a paperback history book included from HLJ (pre-tariff) and the book is excellent.
