Citroen Traction Avant in US MP service


Recommended Posts

TA lacks some minor details (i.e. white cross on bonnet!) but is almost completed. I know GI are baseball fans so I added an homemade bat! Here my idea for a vignette. Not a definitive setting. Feel free to any comments.

Here some progress on vignette.

Base was made with styrofoam. Cobblestones was cut with an X Acto blade and enlarged with a toothpick. Sewers from Miniart and Plus Models.

Thank you John and George, too kind!

The newpapers come from an old Verlinden n. 12 "Ww2 newpapers, posters, instruction sheets, potraits". Very useful👍.

Here some first attempt for setting. The white cross was made with light lead foil.

I have some doubts about the way to secure it to the bonnet.

Finally my TA is completed in a final setting.

It lacks the MP GI. I hope to paint him as soon.

hope you like.
