geetee66 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) well, it's been over a year, since I last built a kit. I had to move home and then get one of the rooms fixed up as a hobby room, so it's been a while. anyway, here's the Tamiya Citroën 2CV. Weathering was done using the salt technique and some pastels. suspension was lowered very easily, thanks to the way the kit is engineered. I added wires and gubbins under the hood, a battery clamp and a relay box. I also added valve stems to the wheels, but you can hardly see them! Interior junk was also added, along with some tape repairs to the roof and drivers seat. here are the pics. I hope you like it All comments welcome, thanks for looking Edited October 3, 2016 by geetee66
Foxer Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 I like it! Great weathering job! Good to hear lowering is an easy job for those waiting for me to do.
1959scudetto Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Looks great - some kind of French rat rod...
Harry P. Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Wow! Spectacular! Love the weathering/rust. Where did the "interior junk" come from?
geetee66 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks guys Harry, the interior junk is in Fujimi accessory set, along with a vending machine
slusher Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Realistic rust,I really like the interior diorama items. Great model..
Modlbldr Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) Looks great! Nice weathering. I just picked this one up from a friend of mine last week and was wondering about lowering it. I'll have to keep your excellent build in mind when it comes time to build mine.http:// Is this an earlier mold of the Tamiya kit or completly different? Later- Edited October 4, 2016 by Modlbldr
OldNYJim Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 What a great build! Love the weathering, and it's beautifully built!
espo Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Great looking build. I like how you weathered the body and interior.
Chuck Most Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Lovely- this is my favorite buildup of this kit so far.

Later- It has nothing in common with the Tamiya version. IIRC it's proportions are rather distorted - it doesn't have a stock look (it is too wide and too low, could probably built as a custom: already chopped/channeled/sectioned) it has been planned as a motorized toy car, only about 40 parts, curbside etc. etc. Here you can see a presentation of the kit contents: http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=55736
