WIP: BMW Isetta
After the mess I made of the Messerschmidt, I'm so far very pleased with the paint job on this. I can proudly say its my best paint job by far! I just need to remove a spot of enamel that got under the masking. How should I do this?
Here is some basic pics of the car and also the actual size of it next to the Messerschmidt and a Fiat Barchetta. These kits are tiny! http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2/DSC01037.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2/DSC01040.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2/DSC01045.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2/DSC01046.jpg Thanks for looking!

I simply love the isetta: I bought a 1/18 diecast version and at least I give to my son: Nino had to destroy it!
My son have a future in junkyard works.. so I can see an interesting barchetta: keep update please  and concerning the isetta: it seem good, keep updt man

You should be able to remove the enamel on the clear glass part easily with some plastic polish. I have always liked this car. It's very unique.

Re: WIP: BMW Isetta
Love the subject! And I'm still jealous that I haven't got one of these (yet)
 Looking forward to seeing this come to life

You can usually find it at a hobby shop. Look for a product called Novus or the Treatment Model Car Wax. It essentially is a verion of car wax that is safe to use on your models. It has a slight abrasive material in it that will take the enamel off, but the abrasive is so small that you really won't see a difference in the clear plastic. Nic

Re: WIP: BMW Isetta
Thanks guys! This kit has no detail at all! The body is clear I think just to irritate me! But it turned out good. I haven't done anything this weekend (for obvious reasons!) I'llget back to it from tomorrow I think. Oh I managed to clean the windows with thinner and a cotton swab. It worked OK!
