About the Messerschmitt KR200 Blue Revell 1:18

TL;DR: This Revell 1:18 diecast reproduces the Messerschmitt KR200 in blue, a post-war German bubble car built by an aircraft manufacturer temporarily barred from making planes. Its tandem seating and aircraft-style canopy make it one of the more distinctive microcars available in scale form.

Turning an aircraft factory into a car plant sounds like a stretch, but Messerschmitt's post-war circumstances left the company with engineering talent and few other options.

An Aircraft Maker's Answer to Cheap Transport

Barred from building aircraft after the Second World War, Messerschmitt licensed a design from engineer Fritz Fend and produced the KR200 from 1955, a three-wheeled cabin scooter with tandem seating and a hinged, aircraft-style canopy that let one seat sit directly behind the other rather than side by side. The blue finish on this diecast highlights the KR200's rounded, bubble-like glasshouse clearly, a shape that owed as much to aerodynamic thinking as to cost-cutting. Revell's build handles the compact three-wheeled layout and canopy detail with careful attention, giving the model genuine period charm and a shelf footprint far smaller than any conventional car of the same scale.

A Genuine Curiosity for a Microcar Collection

This KR200 stands out on any shelf built around post-war microcars, its aircraft-influenced construction giving it a story most bubble cars simply do not have. For collectors interested in automotive history's stranger corners, it is a small but genuinely fascinating subject.
