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

Finally an update on this build:

Both wings have been sprayed and mounted onto the chassis. This was quite a struggle since the mounts against the radiator sidewalls did not fit. I had to adapt them in both size and shape t be able to make the wings connect.
Then also the airfilter had his own say. I temporarily removed it and I will remount it when I am 100% sure that everything fits, including the hood lids.









The chromed parts have been de-chromed first, because I feel that the factory chrome is not really realistic and looks too "plastic". So I bleached it off the parts, and used Motip Chrome spray over a layer of ordinary Tamiya grey primer. It does not look too bad, I must say.





More updates to come.
