Re: Citroen 15-Six "Traction Avant" - 1952 - Heller - 1/8

The self-produced PE-parts have been built in. As explained in my previous posts they form a kind op plate holding springs on the gearbox cover, and the attachments for the gear selector levers. In the pics you will find the additions pointed by arrows and red circles:







Then on the other side of the engine I mounted the in- and outlet manifolds. The outlet has been painted in rust colours, just like the real thing, which was red rusted before the car even reached it's first buyer.

The inlet manifold is placed in between the outlet, and just above this set of pipes you will see the carburetor, nicely protected by a heat shield.

When looking at the pictures I found a few spots which will need some extra attention, certainly around the inlet. It looks far less dramatic in real, but things will be camouflaged a bit. Not much will remain visible once the engine has been built into the chassis, but still...
