As my second hobby is slotcar, I was willing to slaughter the ducks, but there was no need
The Semi Gloss Sea Blue that inspired me
So, the Hataka Semi Gloss Sea Blue arrived. I couldn’t wait, so here the first results. I’m happy with it.
Here some colour examples. Blue, green, navy blue, sea blue. Oxford blue, French blue... Decisions to make...
Tini, get your gun! (and spray)
Almost everything fitted, just the windscreen, and bolts on the wheels need to be fitted, after painting.
The first steps for the windshield
Don’t know why I can’t raise the front. The bolt (moer) prevents it to turn ?
Scratced the gun carriage and the M18 gun. Still strugling with the angle of the gun...
Just a primer to see some effort
“Doors” made, bumper soldered en fixed
Bottoms up.
Closed
The officer arrived, made a mold to glue the wheels in the right place. (Gives me a headache). Wheelarches closed
Extensive ? instrumentarium made.
Lots of work creating the bulkhead. Yes, it’s called bulkhead. We say schutbord, in French it is cloison. Take your pick ?
I think it is reverse gear ?
Saddle up
Second line of suspension
Intrusions ready. Not that easy to build identical parts...
Scratching a chair
A new door (010 sheet with half round 040 at both sides)
Suspension cylinders fitted
Floor and trunk
Inside floor
Primered the carosserie (body)
Adjusting the chassis
Adjusting the chassis
Green stuff for the holes, have had te worst with sawing and filing of the diecast. ??
(Anciens Cols Bleus) (ARDHAN)
Removed the roof
Chop chop
By my knowledge there is no 2cv model in 1/35, I found this die-cast toy car, scaled 1/34, which is splendid for the job
Did some pre shading and then the “official” color. Now waiting for the ordered decals
Glued the wheels, chair and steering wheel in place. Painted some details
Started on the figures, left a blast model, middle and right Bravo 6 Vietnam figures, converted to fusiler marin and a navy officer.
Still under construction, the fusilier has become a Hornet head, a different leather belt, made from masking tape and some other alterations. The officer became a “normal” long pants and also alterations at the uniform pockets

So, painting time is near. At last. Now I have to pick a color. I think it's going to be a naval air color, the colors they used on their Sikorskies.

That s an nteresting vehicle. How fast could this think be with all the stuff? Crazy.
