PROPELLER Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Thanks Mr K all the kind words are appreciated... May be some Citroën designers have be inspired by american cars? Or a 1936' fashion? I don't know... Windows, this pic show the real colour... Something wrong here? Yes... Dan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROPELLER Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 Thanks guys! After sanding and after sanding... Before the next (final?) paint layer, Harvey cross fingers with me, the gasket between body and wings, of course Mr Heller forget it, but in the real life: Lead solder wire... Did you already saw false hinges? No? Take a look at: Dan. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyb258 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Lovely job on the beading, Dan. Did you use super-thin CA to affix it?

Codger Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Dan I wish you had chosen black - your reference picture in black is superb. Since black can show every flaw, your perfect coachwork insures there would be none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybgoode Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Lovely paint job on that and a lovely car. My uncle is very fond of Citroen and pretty much rebuilt a DS to concourse standards - did all the hydraulic lines and everything. I will show him this thread I think as it would interest him.

I choose "le charme discret de la bourgeoisie". Google give me: the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie. Its speaks for French people but for you? And remember, pictures lies! My coachwork is far from perfect... Thanks to Danny and his uncle! Dan. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codger Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 As the builder you are certainly entitled to your choice. I only meant that if I could get so perfect a surface, I would be proud to present it in perfect black. I will love this model no matter the color.
