Revell 07095 Citroen 2CV "Charleston" 1:24 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

A fun and well made model kit that has a good level of detail without being too complex or fiddly. I must say though that Ravell fitting instructions tend to be a little over complicated, I would prefer they rethink them...look at Italeri kits, they seem to have found a way of providing instruction that are instantly clearer and easier to follow. Useful tip on nay models...study the instructions for an hour or so before starting a build.

This was a really nice kit to make, just had to take care when masking for the paint job.I went for the roof off option to give a better view of the interior

Cons first: Usual crappy Revell side-loading box, that's it.Pro's: What a great little kit from Revell, I dont know why I didn't buy this sooner.OK so it's not a Lamborghini or a (boring) Ferrari but you eventually get fed up of building supercars all the time so its time for something a bit more sensible.I absolutely love this kit though its only 16cm long (1/24 scale).Be aware though it has some very thin fragile parts such as the under-bonnet, engine bay tubing but then again most kits dont include this type of stuff. It could be replaced with real rubber tubing.You have a choice of two 'Charleston' paint schemes (black & yellow or burgundy & black) but you could of course paint it any colour you wanted, standard or imagined.It comes with rubber tyres and a piece of plastic grill 'stuff' as well as decals.In summery, a lovely little kit from Revell.I dont know why more manufacturers don't make more standard (affordable) poor peoples car models.I might even buy a couple more if they stay around £20 quid.

I can't find a diecast model of my particular 2cv, so I bought this to paint myself. Its quite a long time since I did any model making so it should while away a few long winter evenings as it's quite an advanced kit, but it should look great when it's finished as the attention to detail is very good. A must for the serious 2cv fan. A good model for the price.

Accurate scale model of a quirky little car.

Nice model, great detail and accuracy.

I have ordered this item in June but I have kept it aside until December when I started the assembly. It is my fault not to have checked the content and when I have reached step 33 I noticed that the set of H parts (Chrome finish) was missing. As I was not 100% sure that this was not my fault I have ordered another kit. This problem apart the kit is nice with great detail though difficult to assemble. I have looked into the maze of possible contacts with Amazon to order only this H Parts kit that would allow me to build the Red/black version but I was not successful. Therefore I am asking the Amazon Staff that will review these lines to be so kind as to inform me how to order these missing parts should this be possible.

Just finished building this model and like the original car i painted mine on a budget, the body color i used grey primer as the early 2cv's were this color, and the seats i used red primer and it looks cheap and cheerfull just like the real thing, it looks good along side my revell trabant and bus which i have videos of on you tube, i just wish revell would do a model kit of the robin reliant or supervan 3 i would buy and build a few of them.....
