Hi Roy, I am new to Britmodeller and I am returning to the hobby following a long hiatus. I usually build military models with the occasional large car or bike thrown in. I have been following the Citroen since near the beginning of the build. It is plain that you are very comfortable with your experience and it shows in the quality of the product. Did you build this to match an existing vehicle? Who did you get your leather for the seat upholstery from and was it easy to work? From looking at the door hinges on my model parts I could only think that they would need reinforcement for them to last any length of time what with opening and closing to access the interior for viewing during the life of the model. Is that your impression as well? I am using a set of Citroen repair manuals for reference and must admit I have found myself using them largely to simply confirm the accuracy of the parts! Not often that happens. Not even with Poacher. Thanks for taking the time to keep the community informed with these regular updates to the build log. I know how much time they take. The information passed on in the pages of these logs is invaluable to all classes of modeller reading them. Especially if you are contemplating investing the large cash outlay often needed for the current large scale models on the market. I have just purchased a 1/16th PzKpfw IV H model by Trumpeter and definitely felt that wallet invasion. I am currently working up to starting building their 1/16th T34/85 No 183 and have just waiting for the last of the aftermarket items to arrive before commencing the build. I hope to be able to chip in a few items detailing particular solutions to problems encountered along the way. Thanks again for the time and work in putting together this Build Log. Ric
