Hi guys, recently recieved the New Citroen 11CV available now in 1/35 as well as 1/48 scale from Tamiya.
The car I'm building will in the end be parked on the street of May, 1940 France in a military model diarama I will later build, but the car itself will be civilian, and in fairly good condition. In the scene, a businessman is stepping from his Citroen, parked at the curb, and watching as german armor rolls in, with it's confident panzer crews even eyeing "thier" new car.(many of these were jacked by the Wermacht and made into staffcars, and so Tamiya has presented decals,paint instructions, and even a German driver figure in the box)
The brilliant little kit can be dry fitted easy as this
But I assembled only as far as this for painting, as I want a two-tone +chrome, seems best to assemble after painting, especially for an armor/diorama guy like me, trying for something like a (French Rolls Royce)
Of course they came in a lot of colors over the years
I began by filling/sanding injection pin marks found on the floorboards & door liners, as well as parting lines from the rear fenders, and the front portion on the bonnet,as the crease should be there at the rear of the top edge, but dissapears about a third of the way forward.
Painting started with the interior in XF-55 Deck Tan, per the destructions instructions
When I was sure it had cured, I added a filter of Floquil Roof Brown, to show depth & wear
The next day, I masked off all the interior to prevent over-spray
At first I reached for the Tamiya tape, put used 3M green'Frog"tape instead, for it's greater 'tack'. This tape tends to be safe on paint layers,(fingers crossed) and no residue like the blue tape. I just guessed I'd probably blow the window tape free while I was spraying... 
After trying a few black paints I have, I liked the look Floquil Engine Black 
I think it gave a nice semi-gloss with a thin-as-possible application. Although it's dry pretty fast, I'll leave it alone over night.
I also got started on the owner of this car
Primered, then skin-areas base-coated with Tamiya XF-60 Dark yellow / the airbrush
Thanks for your interest & comments
Back to it after work tommarrow.......G'night Gents,
