Finally a Citroen DS 23 in 1/24 scale !

[1959scudetto]

Finally, a DS 23 from 1973 is available in 1/24, if only as a die-cast but with very nice proportions - see link enclosed:

I have myself 2 on order from France which should arrive early next week.

This is the first of a series of cars which have been popular in France by Ixo/hachette in 1/24 - some of them look to have never before seen in this scale.

Their main disadvantage could as well be their main advantage: they don't have any opening features, so the awful gaps between hood, doors and other body panels can be avoided.

This could fit well together with Ebbro's late `50s DS19 kit, Metro/Leo Models '63 DS Die-cast and Welly's DS convertible Die-cast.
