Renault 4CV

Finished this up last night, not the best but I'm glad its done!  Typical Heller kit, quirky assembly, vague instructions but the only game in town for this vehicle.  I should have taken some interior shots before closing it up, can't see much through the windows.  Neat little 4-cylinder engine/transaxle with decent details.  Comments welcome, thanks for looking.

I love funky cars like this. Is this kit 1/24 or 1/43?

[Classicgas]

Very cool. I want one.

Very nice, I like it and want one. Most cool!

Nicely built and painted. I had this kit but a heavy object fell on it sending it in another universe. I'll have to get another, and you're right, some heller kits are , shall we say, challenging?.

Wow! Looks great. I love models of those funky, weird, and for the most part, unloved cars.

Great looking build, and it does bring back memories of a high school friend that got his folks CV when he got his license. I remember going to a gas station with him and the guy put the gas in the radiator by mistake. Those two fillers seem reversed from what you might expect.

It's 1/24.  Thanks for all the kind comments.

Nice job on this rarely seen model and  an excellent choice on the color. Are those wiper blades really molded into the windshield? I love that they’re stuck in the upward position (probably realistic for a Renault?…).

Yeah, I was too chicken to try to paint them.

I made exactly the same kit long time ago, in my teenage years when I started the hobby.
It resulted in what we know as ' a gluebomb'.
It's still somewhere in my stash. I keep it to transform it someday in a rusty wreck.

Very nice..

Cute!

Very nice!!

I've built the kit a couple of times, my parents owned a 4CV when I was born so I've always felt I have a connection to that little car!!
