Paul Hettick Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 You guys asked for more pics so here you go! This was built from the new Ebbro? kit. The finest model kit I have ever built hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I've been on the fence about one of these, this convinces me to spring for one. Great looking model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglia105E Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Paul..... I had seen the high price for these Ebbro Citroen DS19 kits previously, and now I know why they are a bit pricey... good quality and accurate. Your build is excellent and I can see why you are so pleased with it. Beautiful scale model motor car! Well done. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATHU Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Looks fantastic, excellent work!! Edited January 12, 2019 by ATHU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Wow! I was never real crazy about the 1:1 (especially in black.......reminds me of a roach), but this is lookin' great! OK..........trivia question for you Citroen guys------how did one change the rear tires on this thing especially if you had a flat? No Cheating! There's a very logical answer to this one!

Zoom Zoom Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Very nice! I have the same kit, but really would rather build the quad-headlight DS21 that should have been out in November but still MIA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you would remove the fender. Great looking model. Never drove one but were very comfortable to ride in.

Not only that, but the fender is held on by only two bolts, and thanks to the air suspension it jacks itself up and stays level with three wheels on the ground... beat, M.

peekay Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 For those of you who didn't know, this is the 1954 Citroen Traction Avant. Paul's DS is the next year's model - surely the most extravagant leap forward in automotive history. Hosted on Fotki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
