Simon Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hi folks, I have not been around for a while as I have not really been building cars, but couldn't resist this 1/24 Citroen 2CV from Revell. My model tools, paints and kits are all packed up while I move house so I was bored, and ended up buying this kit and some new paints and tools! I recommend this kit, the detail and fit is good and you could build it several different ways. I used some Humbrol weathering washes and powders to give it a used look, like a little old battle wagon maybe still in use somewhere in rural France. It's not a show-winning result but for off-the-shelf products, I think the Humbrol stuff is not bad. More build details on my blog. Thanks for looking.

Ace-Garageguy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Great looking model, very realistic. I've always been a closet fan of the deux chevaux and I'd love one as a daily driver, but it's never occurred to me to look for one when I've had the money.

Simon Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Gents, thanks for all your kind comments. It was such fun to build a model using just the paints and tools I bought for the job, like being a beginner again. Nice to hear from you North American chaps who shared some love for the 2CV, and especially from the folks in Europe for whom old 2CVs used to be as common as lamp posts. When did you last see one?
