Duckwizard Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 This is the 2CV (called "Ente" = "Duck" in Germany) as my wife drove it in the 80s. Unfortunately we do not remember the reg. number. This is a very nice kit with a desirable detail level and with very good fits of (almost) all parts. I painted it with Vallejo acrylics, except the red which is original car finish from a spray can transferred into an airbrush gun (0.4mm). The finish is far from perfect but for my first civil car built it looks ok for me. This is my first built presentation on this site! 😀😉 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Very well done! I saw one just like this on my way to work last week. In The Netherlands the nickname of this car is "Ugly Duck". Not applicable in this case I'd say 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I love it. I'm not sure if there is a polite nickname for it in England! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing them racing at Brands Hatch a couple of years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 A superb build - you've really captured the look and feel of the original. They always looked good in that colour scheme Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Nice build. I saw the Airfix 2CV 'Dolly' version at the car boot sale this morning. But I resisted and didn't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastheniker Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Very realistic! As far as I remember burgundy/black was the most popular Charleston colour combination by far here in Germany. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
