Thank you Keith! Thank you Peter! At some point I tough to put the kit on standby... Thank you Thomas! Green was my second choice of color, the lime green one. But my uncle had a orange one so I went for that. Thank you Scott! It is a little fighter as kit... Thank you Tony! There are a few out there, mostly in 1/43 scale. Also when I was looking to reference for my build, I saw some 1/87 and a 1/18.

Finally done... This kit came out in 2015 and has 124 parts. When I order it, I though it was going to be a fun built. But this kit had different issues that it was not so easy like I thought... When I start to cut the plastic it remind me of the same plastic was used on the Renault 16, that was a middle 60's kit! There are few errors easy to correct, like the front "spoiler" that on the kit is straight down, when in the real car it sit in an angle. When you adjust it on the body, you need also to trim the chassis, if not is not going to fit. I painted the inner fenders before glue them to the body, because if you glue them first and after paint it could be difficult to reach all the area. On the instructions it says to put the engine on the chassis and after attach the body. I suggest to attach the body to the chassis first, and after put in the engine, it is easyer. Also I had to replace the windshield wipers, the one on the kit were too short.The bad thing, considering the kit is new, is that doesn't have lenses for the headlight. Instead in the box there are different parts from the Citroen 2CV kit. Anyway it was fun to build it, I really enjoyed it and I decided to leave mine without door and windows, it make more a summer car. :DI also put old style license plate, I think they fit the car better than the newer the kit has. The WIP link Here some picture.

Looks another sweet project!

Interesting, feel free to post picture. This kit does not have headlight lenses. I think this is very unfortunate, considering that is a new kit. I found some in my spare parts that have the perfect diameter for the eheadlight. Another thing that I made is the jack.

Your lucky day! A car that you don't see every day on the road. That unfortunate for the picture, but maybe you will see it again. Here some progress on my model. The interior is done, and I add some detail on the engine, still need some more.

I ordered this kit from the Heller website, and this is the box it came in. The seats on the kit are from the 2CV kit, and they have diagonal shape that make a romboidal pattern. I made them flat, so they match the rear seat. Also a arm rest/holder for the passenger was added.

Thank you Andre! Thank you Peter! Thank you Scott!

No was in Italy. Dark metallic green color, and I think it was a 1998 model. Steering wheel in position. The speedometer and fuel level are missing in the kit, so I used some decals I had.

Thank you John! I think the 2CV Sahara is the one you talking about. Small update, the steering wheel-column.
-
Thank you Richard! I drove for a while a Citroen XM, very futuristic car talking about shape and also that one you could lift it as you want without compromise the comfort inside.
-
Very nice! It looks real!

Thank you Bruce! I think they imported them in the US, but did not make a lot of success. Here are the doors.
