Lovely work.
I really like the subtle weathering and the windows look great.

Really nice little model :-*

It is indeed.
Reminds me of the day I saw James clamber into a Smart Car.

Merci Lou. I’m sure it’s wrong in all sorts of ways...  :D
But you are being very polite, mon ami  ;)

Great job with the weathering.

Is it me or does the officer look grumpy? Maybe because nobody's polished his car  :)

Love the Citroen. Maybe a race through Paris in 1940 as Game for BLAM?

Lovely work, as ever. If I was starting again I think I'd go with Rubicon as you've really sold those kits with your stunning results.

Thanks Steve.
I can't say enough good things about the Rubicon models, both the kits and resin models. They are so far above the quality of other 1/56 wargaming AFV models, they don't really bear comparison...
Although from tabletop distance, I guess you'd never really be able to tell  ::)

Lovely work Richard on a fascinating little car; front wheel drive,excellent road holding,way ahead of its time (ceased production in the 50s I believe). And still a useable classic today!

Thanks Guy. Yes, there’s no shortage of reference pics of still running classics out and about today  :)

It seems the Germans liked them too in the Second World War, and took many into their service for use as staff cars after the fall of France in 1940. The Rubicon model comes with a choice of French or German decals.

Staff vehicle looks pretty good.  Will have to check out the Rubicon web page on what they have.
