High time for an update on the Citroen. A part of the body shell has been glued together, and everything went surprisingly well. One body part keeps the other in shape, so you only need to "insist" a little bit to keep everything in place until the glue has dried. So now both the sidepanels, roof and trunk are glued together. The trunk for the 1952 version has a specific shape, so you need to keep to the instructions carefully to build this version, but if you do things are quite easy to follow.
The fabric for the interior will be done with Tenco Scale Weave. This is very fine woven tissue, which makes it perfect to use in this scale. It will be applied using thinned glue, then sprayed in the correct colour. Due to the size of the model I have ordered 2 pieces of 90x90 cm of this tissue, I hope it will be enough ...
Colour of the interior will be grey, while the outside is the obvious black. This outside base colour will be done using regular spray cans, but the lacquer will be automotive 2-component lacquer, probably DuPont if I can get to it.
In the pics you will also see the rear suspension which has been started and the frames of the front seats.
To be continued !!
