peekay Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 As far as I know never done as a 1.24th kit so this was the next best thing. It's from Mondo in Italy and very nicely done, specially considering the price. Shape and details look spot on to me and the colours are accurate too. I haven't altered anything here, didn't see the need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillyb1 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 This is number one on my wish list for 1/24 scale kits. I dream of Tamiya offering one, but I'm not holding my breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dream of Tamiya offering one, but I'm not holding my breath.You and me both! Amazing to think that this car dates from from 1957 and replaced the Traction Avante, which still had 30s style fenders and grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 that always was a radical design! I remember being in Paris as a kid, around 1968 and riding in one of those as a Taxi. I was impressed that the steering wheel had one single spoke! I'd like to have one in 1/24 scale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ford48 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 so-what scale is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 Scale is 1.24th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 That's a beauty. The only thing I might add is a radio antenna, and possibly a black wash on the wheels and the C pillar trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Cullinan Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Ever since Scarface I've liked these. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Sweet...I'd love to see 1/24th scale kits of the DS and SM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't altered anything here, didn't see the need. and Welly has a die-cast early DS cabriolet in 1/24 scale (as a compagnon to the limousine): The windscreen looks a little bit chopped and too flat but otherwise the model is quite nice for € 12,95: For a non-Italian version of the limo you would have to rework the rear chrome trim - only in Italy it looked that way - was necessary for their square license plates. The chromed rear end should look like the cabriolet's but with the rear lights from the 4-door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
