Sometimes you just need to go back to the basics. Forget about complex things, and force yourself to face simple challenges. I find that’s a good way to re-learn, and to practice. That's why I decided to build this kit.
I cleaned a bit the original scans and printed at A3 size. The result is a paper model at an approximate scale of 1:27
Easy to build. Parts fit nicely most of the time. Graphic details are rough and simple, as expected from a 1953 kit.
Instructions are in French. If you don’t know French you will need a translator an/or some creativity and instinct to understand the way the suspension is assembled.
But it is not difficult at all.
The black threads are rubber threads used in clothes and lingerie.
The front of the headlights can be made with white cardstock,
or with clear acetate (French word “rhodoïd” is just that).
I used some extra material from the headlights of the Ford Tri-motor
for the Citroen 2CV headlights.
The suspension can be seen in action in this video:
