Cracking work Dave, I can just see this in the big top, or the parade as the circus comes to town.

HI Dave very good an some nice bright colours but this is just my opinion but i would have thought you would have used the citren dolly as this car to me is very funny an it looks like a fair amount of work gone into this so very well done at this all best an are you not goin to build anymore ships ? as those carries you built were the bees knees in my opinion

Chris, there is a story behind this build and a reason why this particular car. I was building a standard Heller Citroen CV15 Traction Avant a couple of months ago and I kept knocking off the mudguards! I remarked at the time that it reminded me of one of those circus cars that had bits that fell off. That triggered the idea of a "clown" car and I had another Citroen CV15 in my stash begging to be built. BTW, it is based on a Pinder Circus car.

Here are both builds together:


I am building all sorts at the moment and have just completed a ship - the Heller 1/400 Jeanne D'Arc:
