Paul Hettick Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 You guys asked for more pics so here you go! This was built from the new Ebbro? kit. The finest model kit I have ever built hands down.
bbowser Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I've been on the fence about one of these, this convinces me to spring for one. Great looking model!
GeeBee Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Very nice build, I really need to make a start mine soon
Anglia105E Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Paul..... I had seen the high price for these Ebbro Citroen DS19 kits previously, and now I know why they are a bit pricey... good quality and accurate. Your build is excellent and I can see why you are so pleased with it. Beautiful scale model motor car! Well done. David
ATHU Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Looks fantastic, excellent work!! Edited January 12, 2019 by ATHU
MrObsessive Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Wow! I was never real crazy about the 1:1 (especially in black.......reminds me of a roach), but this is lookin' great! OK..........trivia question for you Citroen guys------how did one change the rear tires on this thing especially if you had a flat? No Cheating! There's a very logical answer to this one!
Zoom Zoom Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 Very nice! I have the same kit, but really would rather build the quad-headlight DS21 that should have been out in November but still MIA...

I believe you would remove the fender. Great looking model. Never drove one but were very comfortable to ride in. Edited January 12, 2019 by Phildaupho
DPNM Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 I've always liked these cars and you built an excellent rendition of it. Well done!!!

Classicgas Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Very col and beautiful. What scale? You have another you are interested in trading?
Roadrunnertwice Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Fantastic build! It looks like the one in the Peterson museum in LA. I love the color combination.

Not only that, but the fender is held on by only two bolts, and thanks to the air suspension it jacks itself up and stays level with three wheels on the ground... beat, M.
Matt Bacon Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Lovely build, and nice colour combination. Reminds me I must promote mine up the build pile... best, M.
geetee66 Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 Looks like it was worth the higher price. You did a great job on it. Super clean work. Looks 1:1
peekay Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 For those of you who didn't know, this is the 1954 Citroen Traction Avant. Paul's DS is the next year's model - surely the most extravagant leap forward in automotive history. Hosted on Fotki
