Citroën 2CV.

Pretty happy with this one! Colour is TS-44 (I think), Brilliant Blue.
First time doing anything material wise with the interior. Nowhere around here has flocking so I used felt. I made the passenger side's material thinner on purpose :P Steering wheel is I think from an Impreza, I found it in my parts box. Clocks on the side are from a Land Rover xD
Questioning if I should put the decals on or not..

I tried to create the effect of painted-over rust bubbles on the back.. I don't think it worked.

I don't usually click on the modeling sites but I was curious and havent seen one of these in years. Nice job! :wink:

Thank you, it means a lot! :)

How can anyone not like a happy looking 2CV?

Thanks Greg :) Applied some decals, the chassis numbers and such under the bonnet, and I've gone for the story that it's a car owned by a family that loves motorsports, and as such has flags of countries they've been to plus some stickers from their favourite sports they've been to :P Plus a tax disk I found. :P

So ugly it's almost cute. Your use of felt over the seats makes it look like the owner just threw heavy blankets over them to cover the fact that the upholstry was wrecked. Nice job on a model you don't see built very often.

I have both the Gunze kit and the new Revell Germany kit of this car, hope to build one of them in the next year.

Thank you Rob :)
I look forward to seeing your 2CVs! :iceslolan
And about the seats, that's the look I was going for :P

I'm currently building the Revell kit. Which kit is this one?

This is the Tamiya Historic Car Series one. :)

Well done!!!!!!
Aha!~CALSONIC GTR blue!
Your modeling skill is improving!

Thank you :)
Haha yes, my favourite race scheme :P I plan on doing all the Calsonic Skylines! The Z probably not because I'm not overly fussed on 350Zs. Got a Revell truck and trailer kit sitting on my shelf, when I've done all the skylines (Just the R34 and R35 to go) I'm gonna be making it a team Calsonic delivery truck ^^

i like it, i like it alot!

This is the Tamiya Historic Car Series one. :)

Thanks! With so many different 2CV kits, it gets confusing! Looks good. I dare say Revell may have beaten Tamiya on detail.
