modelbomber Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Well after a long hot & humid summer of no building I finally finished my Tamiya Citroen 2cv. Nice kit everything went together well, the tiny screws that hold the suspension and the tiny door handles were a bit figity ( you need patients) Working suspension, it`s painted in gun metal with flat earth for the interior. I realized after it was complete that the real car didn`t have back-up lights...….Oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Super build of one of the ugliest cars ever produced, right up there with the Pontiac Aztec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been ugly but it was very well loved in France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 First off, your model looks great and reminds me of the ones I saw a couple of years ago in Travers City MI. were they had an owners club gathering. Second, while these cars are so homely they're cute. These vehicles were perfect for France after the WWII in helping them get back on their feet.

Most French people have 2CV memories of some sort. Edited December 2, 2018 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but the Aztec was never cool. The 2CV is. I tend to agree with the others Bout the cuteness factor. Nice model! I wish it was mine.

PatW Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Superb! We had hundreds if not thousands here at one time, France being so close! We used to call them the tin snail, due to the first ones being built of corrugated mild steel, and very slow having the twin cylinder air cooled motor, but very comfortable with the unique suspension. Very cool and trendy with the hippies of the 60's and 70's covered in large flower power stickers! Edited December 7, 2018 by PatW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod3l Lover Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Yeah, and the 2CV taxation rating made them a car people could afford to drive!! David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I liked it!! The color makes the 2CV to look like it means business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
