Citroen 2CV Charleston
Revell of Germany's kit. I love oddball cars and aircraft, and this certainly fits the bill! Little 2 cylinder air cooled engine.

That is spectacular! Almost a "Beetle", but with some style.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Citroen 2CV Charleston
Looks very nice MP! Like Lyle, I also think that it does have some resemblance to a Bug. But with a touch of M.G. as well 
Only a two cylinder engine?
What scale is this?

Re: Citroen 2CV Charleston
excellent! Really nicely done. And a subject you rarely see. Cool colors as well. 
I've got a Revell Isetta in the stash - maybe we should do a quirky group build

That is a beauty. I love the finishes.

Re: Citroen 2CV Charleston
Nice work!
Is this the one that could be completely dissembled with a single spanner and a screw driver? That guy got stuck in the desert with one and turned it into a motorbike.

You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
