Heller 1/24 Renault 4 CV (80762)

My build of the Heller 1/24 Renault 4 CV (80762)



















A rather frustrating build caused mainly by the rear parcel shelf refusing to sit correctly when joining bodyshell to chassis. I didn't want to cause damage by separating them again so I have left it as it is. Rather than use my normal airbrushed lacquers for the chrome, I used Molotow Chrome markers instead.

BTW, I am planning to use this car in a little diorama featuring "The Grand Tour" trio:

Always fancied this kit myself

Im assuming the figures are 3d printed?......why is hamster the same height as the other two? ??

Look forward to seeing what other cars join the tour

It is amazing what perspective can do, Paul!

Yes, the figures are 3D printed and sourced from Scale3D - https://www.scale3d.co.uk/

I am thinking of adding a Heller 1/24 Renault Estafette Delivery Van 1964/1973 (80743), the boxing you can see on Scalemates.

Nice one Dave. Turned out well. I live in France now so i see a few of these that come out of the woodwork in the summer on classic car runs.
I agree with you about the Molotow Chrome pens, they work really well on most applications, especially for small trim and retaining straps etc.
