About the Messerschmitt KR 200 Green Revell 1:18
TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 Messerschmitt KR200 in green is a diecast of the postwar German three-wheeled bubble car, with an opening canopy that reveals the tandem cabin. This is a used model with a box showing traces of storage. Built by an aircraft manufacturer turned microcar builder, the KR200 remains one of the era's oddest survivors.
Messerschmitt turned from wartime aircraft production to microcars in the lean postwar years, and the KR200's canopy and tandem seating reflect that aviation background more than any conventional car design.
An Opening Canopy on a Genuinely Unusual Casting
The canopy lifts and holds its position rather than dropping shut on its own, giving access to the narrow tandem cabin behind it, a layout with the driver seated ahead of a single passenger rather than side by side. The zinc-alloy body carries real weight for its small size, and green paint covers the bulbous, aircraft-inspired shell evenly, with the three-wheel stance clearly visible from any angle. Panel lines around the canopy hinge sit a touch wider than a sealed casting would allow, the honest cost of a moving part on a body this compact and rounded. The overall shape holds the KR200's odd, bug-like profile without smoothing it into something more conventional.
Displaying a True Automotive Oddity
At roughly 17cm, this KR200 needs little shelf space and works best as a contrast piece, placed beside full-size sedans or coupes to highlight just how small postwar Europe's cheapest transportation could get. This is a used model, and its box shows traces of storage from time in a collection; the canopy hinge and casting remain sound. Few subjects generate the kind of curiosity this one does, since most collectors have never seen a Messerschmitt car outside a museum.
For anyone building a microcar or postwar European display, this piece is close to essential.
