Anybody have experience with the Heller kit of the Citroen 15CV. A Big Big Big Kit. 24’ long,9’ wide with 1054 pieces and weighing over 4 Kilos!!! when finished. I just saw it in my LHS and though cars aren’t my usual thing i was tempted. The price is a bit heavy as well. Over $100 here in Warsaw.[:)]
Hi,
I am currently building the Heller 1/8th scale Citroen Traction Avant, what a detailed kit, the tip I would give you is to build it in sections, so that you know where you are exactly up to.
I am building mine in the Gangsta Moderne style, the car will have the following features, whch are as follows:-
-
Two tone paint scheme
-
Embossed citroen chevrons in centres of seats.
-
Quilted leather upholstrey around the outside of the seats.
-
Quilted leather headliner.
-
Flip down tv’s in rear of car.
-
Understated stereo system.
-
Chrome Veleocity 6 tyres wrapped in 40 series rubber.
The kit could be made in a number of other ways, the only limit is your imagination and time you wish to put into it.
I bought my kit in August, but have only just started building it, because I didn’t want to mess things up.
Go ahead and buy the kit, you won’t regret it.
I’ve built it before and am building it again at the moment. It’s a great kit and I highly recommend it.
This sounds like a most intriguing build. I hope you get a chance to give us progress reports and pictures, as you…er -uh…progress [:^)]
