    "Little Frenchy" 1/87 Scale Type 23 Citroen

    I found this metal die cast model on a cast toys web site. I was surprised that it was 1/87 scale and even more surprised at the level of detail that it possessed for being so small and made of pot metal. They had two in stock, I bought them both and wished they had more. I carefully disassembled one of these little cuties and soda blasted the thick toy like paintjob while saving the grill/radiator mask as it is so telling to the vehicle make. While painting my GAZ AA ambulances I threw this into the mix and am now presently in the final assembly stage. The cargo bed did not come with a tarp cover so I made Bows out of flat brass and laid on tissue paper for the tarp. There are still other details to add but this is my progress so far...Click image for larger version
