Great model of a beautiful car, Anders! I like it a lot! You probably took on this 1/16 scale kit because there is no kit of this in 1/24 scale? Someone modified the Ebbro DS21 kit to a convertible. But it is a LOT of work to do. Images can be viewed here: https://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&postID=889174#post889174 Coming back to your model, you managed to create a color that fits the car perfectly. Citroën really had their own special colors back then and they are hard to come by for modellers!

I agree, the result is just beautiful, despite the difficulties that you have encountered. As regards the body color, you did a great job on applying the smoke coat so evenly. I know from experience that this is not easy to do. And I have faced the same problems with the "test spoon". That result always seems to differ from the color on the body...

Good work and that yellow always looks great on that car! If I may show my own build:

Great build! I totally agree on those Monogram kits. They may be big in 1/24 scale, but they are great kits to build. Tamiya Metallic Green looks great on ALL those Mopars. Too bad that they don't offer darker shades of green aswell.

I agree 100%.

Many thanks, Al!

Many thanks!

Many thanks guys, I appreciate it. Thanks Phil, that sounds like a fantastic compliment. Many thanks!

Thanks Dann! Appreciate it... And as it says above, mixed bag... ?

There's another way to how masking tape can be used in the interior. You can pre-paint a piece of masking tape in the desired color or wood pattern. Then cut it to size and apply it. Done! I used this technique on my 70 Bonneville interior:

Many thanks guys, I appreciate your feedback!

Thanks Chris!

Many thanks for your kind words!

Thanks Nigel! To be honest, that's exactly what this kit is like on the inside or underfloor. Gotta commit yourself to concentrate on the positives, do a proper job on the body, front and rear panels and trim.

Looking great!

Hi Ludwig, another year of high quality work and models! Keep it up and model on in '22!

Great build Ludwig, you did this rare kit justice - aswell as the original 62 Galaxie that‘s sitting in your garage. ?
