Re: 2CV model kit: very wrong.. odd I had that kit as a child. Still got it actually. We painted as a yellow and black Charleston (all decals were supplied). For some reason we went a bit mental and painted the bootlid black instead of yellow though. Maybe it was some sort of premonition in miniature of a 2cv City resto.

Re: 2CV model kit: very wrong.. odd If you can get it, the airfix 24th 2cv is pretty good, as is the Tamiya one, both have inaccuracies but you. An build a pretty good one using both kits. The Tamiya engine/headlamp bar is rubbish but the chassis detail is better IIRC. All are bloody expensive now, the Airfix one comes up on eBay now and again but rarely cheap, the Tamiya can be found in some model shops with a discount but not often.

Re: 2CV model kit: very wrong.. odd Revell : for determined modellers otherwise a neurotic nightmere.
Tamiya: easy going quality but inacurrate and naive.
Gunze : toy begginers
Heller : a good one, for the scale

Re: 2CV model kit: very wrong.. odd Ah but the sense of achievement after making a Revell kit, even if it is all hidden under the bodywork!

Re: 2CV model kit: very wrong.. odd Agree  It's all about the satisfaction you earn from it, either by the finished model or making it. Try papercraft ones for a start!
