Citroen 2CV 1/43 Heller OOB
Interior Tamiya XF-19 Sky grey. Seats Gunze H422 RLM82 which , as being semi-gloss , gives a nice sheen. Speedo was painted black , then covered with flta white and scrape to show black dials
"handle" seats painted dark iron ... but not very convinced about the result.
Body shell prep for painting.
My notes for painting written in the instructions sheet.
Steering wheel in flat black XF 1 Tamiya
Tamiya XF 66 boy colour
Hubs in Vallejo Ivory 918
Some weathering inside. Seat handles painted in Chrome silver Tamiya X-11. Front and rear bumber are painted in a sort of silver with a hibt of gold.
Some work on my little 2CV
Not very proud of the result
Tires , Tamiya XF Tyre black
Tires , Tamiya XF Tyre black
Some details in Tamiya X11 chrome silver
Front seat has been moved back as it interfered with the steering wheel which was painted dull aluminium Vallejo 77.717 . I noticed that front bumper is some kind of yellowish chreome silver. So I mixed that colour. Steering column was painted the same colour.
And then I painted the floor rubber black , which is more real
Seats handles were painted the very same yellowish chrome as the front bumper.
Rear bumper was also painted in yellowish chrome.
Semi-gloss coated but the roof.
More work on the wheels
Decals added
Windshield cracked .... brrrrrrrrrrr .....
Front row of seats must be moved backwars just a bit ,,, if not , the seat will touch the steering wheel.
Roof mat varnished.
Details on X-11 Tamiya Chrome Silver. Bonnet strip done with a sliver of chrome decal.
Front grill in Metallic Grey.
Body and chassis glued together.
And wheels also glued to the chassis.
Finished.
All in all ... 10 hours spent.

Julian Herrero aka YuriŁukasz , build is pretty straightforward ... I just moved the front seats a bit backwards because they touch the steering wheel. Part 2 & 3 needed a bit of putty .... Also be careful with the headlights ... attaching points are very very small. Otherwise all went smooth, Go for it !!!!!

Album info
Another OOB kit started long time ago that's finished because of confinement. A rather straightforward job. An easy and rather pleasant kit to build.
