Ah ahm licking faw a Frawnch moterrr....

Post by MakingModelsAgain »

Can someone point me in the direction of a kit maker who makes a 1/32 French car from the early '30s? Something like a Citroen 7CV. At a push, I'll use a die-cast (spits) but a kit would be preferable. I suppose at a push 1/35 would do. I've had a look through my usual sources, but was wondering if any of you enlightened lot know better. :)

Tamiya do a 1/35 11cv. These were built in 1934. Best I could find, most seem to be 1/24!

Mercy buckets, gentlemen. I probably should have said that I was requiring the car in civilian clothes, but I'm pretty sure the 'staff car' variants can be civilianated! :)

Pedro, your linkies are nil functionale! ;)

HOWEVER, at the end of the day, I don't suppose it HAS to be Frawnch. I just wanted something kindred to sit alongside the Caudron Racer, but I suppose anything from the era would do.
