CITROËN 15 SIX 1952 - 1/8 scale - HELLER kit

[prog4ever]

Hi.

After lurking for a long time, specially the amazing job our forum friend "ScratchBuilt" is making on his "Moby Dick" Porsche, I decided to post some projects I've been working on, at the exactly same scale (but not, of course, with such a terrific detail).

So, this is about THREE huge and magnificent Heller kilts - with 1054 parts each one - of the classic CITROËN 15 SIX "Traction Avant", made on the "seventies".
My goal is to make the "sedan" versions of 1948 and 1952 and the "roadster" version of 1939, with a major transformation of the original kit.

Although very fragile, almost all the parts of the kit work like on the real car. Maybe the best car kit ever made!

I will post here the only model I've already finished (started on August 2016), and, on the WIP sub forum, the second one - the "roadster".

Now, lets watch some pictures - some of them show two engines with their location 'cos I started assembling and weathering two cars:








I will posting the pictures on sequence
