Project: Messerschmidt Kr200 Kabineroller Bubble Car

After completing the Heinkel Trojan there's only one of the German trio left, and that's the Messerschmidt. At a quick glance you could mistake the Heinkel for the Isetta, and vice versa. There's no mistaking the Messerschmidt for either. Instead of entering through the front like the other two, you got into this car by opening the bubble and climbing in through the top. The seating arrangement was that there was only room for the driver in front, and for one passenger directly behind. The clever thing about this is that it meant that you didn't need to make a left hand drive version - it was equally happy either side of the road. Here's the sketch.

My original plan was to alternate painting this with the Heinkel, working on this while parts of the other were drying. Didn't manage to do that, so it's had to wait for me to finish the Heinkel.
