bbowser Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Originally started as a slump buster this became a lot more involved. From a company out of France called "Europe", instructions were in French. I tried Google translator but didn't get much help. No positive attachment points, I basically built it with Micro Crystal Clear and its very fragile. I read that a Panhard similar to this won the first ever auto race. Interesting subject but I'm glad its done and in the case. Thanks for looking, comments welcome as always. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Very cool. Never heard of that car, nor the kit manufacturer. Where did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it on ebay several years ago, I was on a turn-of-the-century kick. About all you can find of that era are 1/32. Thanks for the comment.

peteski Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Very nice build! I have that kit, along with few other Europe kits of the late 19th Century cars. Nice to see one in finished state. While fiddly, it sure looks like very finely molded kit of you put some care into the assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeRS Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Interesting car, and very cleanly built. I wonder where the engine would fit in one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the front, under the "hood". The starting crank is up front. You can see the crank on the model. Here is a similar car. I believe it was powered by this spindly looking V-twin engine: Another view of the engine compartment: Some good info on https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Panhard-Levassor Edited January 5, 2023 by peteski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, It was a very obscure French manufacturer - long gone. https://www.scalemates.com/brands/europe-model-kits--4475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
