happy grumpy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This is a recent tooling and it shows, the build sequence is a little different than what I am used to but the instructions and design make it easier. The first photo was my inspiration for this build. These were not designed to look good but for functionality. Somehow , I find them to have a certain appeal. I guess I'm a sucker for odd ball vehicles. thanks for looking, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty92 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 This looks great! I’ve always wanted to build one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Realistic looking finishes. These are ugly enough looking to be attractive, kind of like the old milk vans when done up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 You know, with a top chop and a little sectioning, a bit of chrome, this thing could be... still ugly. I dig the model! I was looking at one of these online recently, because it just has that oddball character that makes it interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Nice model. Quite a lot of these Citroen Vans are turning up in the UK and being restored and converted into mobile snack and coffee bars. There is a company in the UK named Auto Bitz who have a nice range of decals for these van kits, along with all the other goodies they sell.

Gramps46 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I am loving it. I have the Welly diecast and now I am tempted to weather it a bit. Thanks for sharing yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Very cool! Very nicely done. I'm a sucker for oddballs too. Thus a Citroen 2cv and a Subaru 360 in my collection lol. I have a Trabant in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
