Junkman Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) As seen on the Nürnberg toy show: Release is temptatively scheduled for May 2013. Looks like Tamiya and Ebbro are now cooperating. The founder of Ebbro is a former Tamiya employee. Ebbro and Tamiya have previously cooperated in the development of various 1:20 scale F1 Grand Prix model kits.

Chillyb1 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Super vachement bonne nouvelle! I really love these little trucks. I'm not enough of a scratchbuilder to pull off the conversion myself so I'm very pleased to see this kit coming available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeBee Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) When I saw the photo's from the German toy fair, i wrote to Tamiya and Ebbro, and was told the following ... "It is a colaboration between Tamiya and Ebbro with the modified parts being designed by Kia San at Ebbro" Edited February 21, 2013 by GeeBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennyg Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I saw a real 2cv recently. I have to admit, after seeing one in the metal I quite liked it. It looks like something you can work on easily. Don't know whether that's true or not. My wife couldn't understand why i liked it. That being said, she didn't like the scirocco r I was thinking about buying either, said it was a girls car. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) I caught part of one of the old Pink Panther movies on cable a couple weeks ago, and Clouseau was driving a phone company van that IIRC was like this--a 2cv based truck. Or maybe I'm miss remembering. Other Citroens I'd love to see in 1:24th are the funky corrugated H-van, the classic DS and SM...

I think the original poster here (Junkman) shared a link to a really nice die-cast H van. But I'm really interested in a nice plastic kit.

Dominik Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I see myself gettting one of these kits Same thoughts, as i saw it in another forum. You are remembering correctly. And I'd kill for an H van. I think the original poster here (Junkman) shared a link to a really nice die-cast H van. But I'm really interested in a nice plastic kit. I agree. the H-van from Welly i bought and must say: for a diecast i am amused. Like it. But f there will be a plastic kit from it, i will have it also. Like this van since i saw Louis de Fines-Movies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
