Heller Citroen 2CV

[PatW]

Built in France before WW2 exported all over including thousands into the UK. Unique suspension system years before anyone else, drive anywhere, originally used on French Farms and vineyards to cover rough ground without breaking an egg!

Corrugated bodywork for strength in such thin steel, two cylinder air cooled engine driving the front wheels, the first manufacturer to have all the works under the bonnet with no transmission tunnel to get in the way, flat floor perfect for space, for passengers and carrying loads, with removable canvas seats and full length canvas sun roof.

Nice little build!! -Not your "norm", but I think we all need to do simplistic builds sometimes, don't we?  -Oh, and it still works with your diorama -NICE!!

Cheers Dann, yes we all need to try something different, even though it may have only a few parts. Yes the 1/43 scale was interesting against a 1/25-1/25 scale dio, but if you take the pics low down, pointing upwards at say 45 degrees, the car looks the right size!

I've contacted photobucket about this above but they haven't answered!

I've checked my usage: My free storage is 2.1 GB I have used 0.6GB (30%) So why am I blocked? I hope someone can tell me because photobucket are not answering my calls/emails etc! I've even attempted to pay $2.99 or $5.99 per month by paypal but their website doesn't accept my request!

I have a Pinterest account which is free so I'll do everything there and ignore the 7 sites I contribute to!

Update 02.07.16 changed to Fotki better deal no hassle!
