The Icarette B had a back with a pull-out tab. In one tab position the red window was open for checking film advance, in another position the tab served as visor of the sports finder. The back was easily removable by pressing two little buttons at once. When closing the door the brilliant finder was collapsed automatically to fit in the closed body. The camera was a sturdy metal construction, covered with fine grainy leatherette.
