Ebbro Citroen 2CV fourgonnette

This is Ebbro and Tamiya's collaboration, the Citroen 2CV fourgonnette, a light truck that saw much use in France and elsewhere for several decades. I've decided to build it as a commercial vehicle very heavily used by its owner. It has been maintained in name only and "fixed" as needed to keep it in running order. One rear body panel has been replaced by a piece of sheet metal welded in place and then forgotten.

Cool. Is this what "American Pickers" used prior to getting the Sprinter? :cwm27:

It is what the French version of that show, Les Glaneurs de France, used, Smart Guy!

Touché :wink:

Seriously cool model.

Excellent and very creative!

Nicely done. The wheels look a little too shiny and perfect for the application though...

Looks great!

Looks like the left hand side could do with a bit of welding too...Great authentic finish. well done.

Cheers,

Extremely realistic build! :thumbsup:

That is a great piece of work and a very realistic look.
I scratch built one of these using the Gunz body then less then a year later Ebbro brought out theirs. My effort would hide in shame compared to your excellent build.

Thanks for the comments and for checking out the build. I have more of these in the stash and will build at least one with a factory-fresh clean look. It is such a cool little truck I could build a hundred of them and not get tired of it.

nice weathering
