Re: Brews' Messerschmitt
Now if we were doing TV/Film cars I would do Sam Lowry's personal (not personnel) transporter from Brazil, which is my favouritest film ever....

And I was just about to dive in and say it had a gull roof. And people these days think the "suicide" rear doors on Mazda's RX-8 are edgy...

I think they did a sporty 4 wheel version called a tiger if my memory serves my right.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

My dad restored a Messerschmitt back in the late seventies. Great fun riding around in the back seat!

Re: Brews' Messerschmitt
As I kid, I used to see a chap commute work in a Messerschmitt every day; it was light blue and he wore a flying helmet- it looked like a miniature 109 on wheels!
currently on the go: Revell Blenheim I, Italeri Me210, Revell HMS victory, Revell 1/144 p-47

Re: Brews' Messerschmitt
We used to say that his Messerschmitt, while slower than a Spitfire, had a better turning circle.
Triumph Spitfire of course....

Re: Brews' Messerschmitt
No mean feat, as the Spitfire had a 24 foot turning circle; better than a London taxi

Re: Brews' Messerschmitt
The driving position in the KR200 might be a little too sit up and beg for those seated figures. Maybe you should go with the "spokesmodel".

I hope you haven't forgotten about this build Brews as it's one I'd really like to see complete.
