debaronFR Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 i'm sorry, i should say: "Heller made one kit 1/8: Traction; and two kits of DS 19 in 1/16 scale: berline and cabriolet. (berline kit is still produced) so all you are right! last sets i received this month, about radiator case, transmission parts, a front seat and dashborad: front seat have a smooth plastic enveloppe, looking good, but color is more skay aspect than leather. I'll paint with oil paints when i receive all seats dashboard is disappointing. clock is just print, plastic aspect is not good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Is it possible to buy this kit all at once? Or is it only available a little at a time? I think waiting for the next shipment of parts would drive me crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debaronFR Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I dont know. I believe not because they produce numbers only relative at people registered and sailers in tabacco and daily papers shops. but you can try to ask for! I'm working on another similar kit (french sealiner France) and i waited 6 months to have enough parts to make building fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debaronFR Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 now the paint seat is dry, and i'd just received new packet the second front seat, and the floor... i'd also bought dry oil paint liquid, so next paint will be quicker!

ZIL 111V Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Xpensive but nice subject model (personally a late topline DS: DS23 "Pallas", would have been a bit better). From the pix seen sure looks like a very nice replica when completed....Remember the "Deuche" in same scale a few years back.Odd that those "Weekly-Monthly" kits are not boxed & sold later as complet kits, pretty sure Altaya would find a many enthusiasts in North America & Japan, for a few of their selected 1/8th models.Heller introduced the 1/8 "Traction" kit back in 1977 & DS19 1/16th Sedan & later "Chapron" Conv, back in the 80's (tough kits to assemble!....hope your Altaya DS21 a bit more relaxing!!!)Vive la France!
