GeeBee Posted March 28, 2017 Author Posted March 28, 2017 Can't believe just how productive I've been this afternoon, got the inner wings fitted and the interior fitted onto the chassis, and got the engine bay all finished.
microwheel Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 outstanding work as always Geoff. Sometimes a break away from the bench helps ya look at things on the bench with fresh eyes and renewed motivation. Looks like it really worked for you.
GeeBee Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Got the wheels fitted this morning, one thing I hate on any model is wonky wheels, so mine have to be completely level, After that I've dry fitted the body,roof and bonnet onto the chassis, Edited March 29, 2017 by GeeBee
microwheel Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 That is one cool little car Geoff. Really a neat looking style. Your doing a great job on it.
VR6 BeelzeDub Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 I've loved following this build, especially as Citroen's brilliant quirkiness never gets old lol. I would love to see you put a vinyl or fabric roof on though as the colors, finish, etc are bang on! I've recently gotten back into this hobby and still completely suck... loll, so I'm not sure if that would throw off the scale or open a whole can of (materials) worms?? In any case I cant wait to see more.
GeeBee Posted April 9, 2017 Author Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Now that the Chrysler is finished it's time to get back to the 2cv before I run out of time, as I've got plenty of work to get done from next month Got the aluminium bmf done, not that there's much of it to, now the body and chassis can be fitted together permanently Edited April 12, 2017 by GeeBee Restoring photo links
espo Posted April 9, 2017 Posted April 9, 2017 It has been amazing following this build. You make it look so easy. Beautiful paint and interior.
GeeBee Posted April 10, 2017 Author Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Got the body finally fitted to the chassis, a few drops of 5 minute epoxy at the front and back, and held in place with some strips of Tamiya masking tape, then the headlamps were fitted, they simply fit into holes molded into the chassis, once that was done, I started on the decals, a bit of Solvaset soon had them snuggled down into place.

GeeBee Posted April 10, 2017 Author Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Great looking decals. I'm pretty happy how the one side has dried up Edited April 12, 2017 by GeeBee Restoring photo links
Randy D Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Hello Geoff, Always enjoy your build threads !!!Great job on this one !! Randy
GeeBee Posted April 13, 2017 Author Posted April 13, 2017 Can't believe how much I've got done to this today, bumpers were airbrushed the same same colour as the wheels, Citroen Rose grey (AC-140), the hubcaps were airbrushed using Alclad chrome.
GeeBee Posted April 21, 2017 Author Posted April 21, 2017 Hopefully this one will be finished in the morning, as I only have the rear lamps to fit and the front mudflaps, and it's done .... The front side windows had there frame done using aluminium bmf, while all the others were done in VHT flat black, it's the best flat black I've found that looks more like the black rubber than anything else I've used, they were fixed into place with clear acrylic craft glue.
Jantrix Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 What a groovy little model. I like it. I think maybe I've found my next Cannonball racer.
GeeBee Posted June 21, 2017 Author Posted June 21, 2017 Really nice, is it completely finished now?Yes, it was finished back in April, See the finished model here :-http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/122663-revell-citroen-2cv-sausss-ente/
Jonathan Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Beautiful build! Those window frames - what is the story there? Are they available aftermarket?
GeeBee Posted June 21, 2017 Author Posted June 21, 2017 Beautiful build! Those window frames - what is the story there? Are they available aftermarket?The black rubber frames were done airbrushing some VHT matt black enamel, the chrome front's were done using chrome bmf
Jonathan Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Ah! I thought P.L.S. was an aftermarket supplier of some sort, and wondering how I could get those frames here Stateside. I suppose tape and paint and BMF - just as you indicated.

Jonathan Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) Ah. Well, it's very, very impressive. You said you use enamels - do you mix you own, or are there readily available equivalents for the green and for the wheels/bumpers? You inspired me to purchase the kit! Edited June 22, 2017 by Jonathan
