Renault 4cv “Pie”

[Dean Whiston]

To run alongside the Miniart tram build (and give me a break from the intensity) I’ve started this 1955 Paris police car (99 parts compared to 810 in the tram😳)

 

Ive made a start with the engine

 So far I’ve added a few additional details to the kit offering - it’s almost ready for some paint before adding the final kit parts and a bit more detailing

 

ive also made a start on the bodywork by cleaning the shell up and rectifying the the glaring error with the rear window (way to small on the kit for the police version)

 

Think I’ll finish the engine then back to the tram for a bit

Busy week or so at work but have managed to move this on a bit 

 

the core of the engine and rear sub frame has been painted and the main floor plan has been given a base coat awaiting some detailing around the battery etc

 

also done a bit more work around the rear window adding a new lower parcel shelf and flaring it in to the new bigger opening

 

bit more on the rest of the engine gubbins next before adding the wiring

I built this kit years ago...in the 90th...

it is a nice little kit with some issues if I remember right 

But at least it turned out good 

So good luck for your build...I'll keep on watching
