Citroen H van, Schreiber-Bogen, 1:24 scale

Schreiber-Bogen Citroen H van, 1:24 scale



Yet another Schreiber build thread, this time the eponymous H van. These vans remind me of childhood days growing up in Belgium.



This kit consists of four sheets of parts and one instruction sheet. This model has a difficulty rating of two out of three.

Again, this will be a straight build from the kit.

Les Triplettes de Belleville!! All you need is some bicycles! Oui Oui, eh?

Tim; It's going to be fun watching this one. the "Tube" is one of my favorite cars. I hope everything goes well with the build.

Zathros;

Les Triplettes de Belleville!!

Yeah! I loved that movie, especially the Type H and the long sinister looking black 2CV limos the gangsters drove.

Those Long Black 2CV are begging to be made into paper models. They would be a better paper model than they were a real car, (though real car is a bit generous, n'est ce pas!

Were those Limo's 2CV or Tractions? I do not know French cars well at all.

I have build this one , a couple of years ago, it's the most accurate model of the HY I could find ( I owned and drove a real one for a couple of years),
You guys are mixing up the 2 Cv with the Traction avant, the Traction Avant is the ( pre -war )Limousine and the 2CV is the little car that every French farmer and every Dutch hippy drove...

There was also van version of the 2CV that is cuter than whiskers on kittens.

[billy.leliveld]

Yep, and there is a great model of it; unfortunately the company who made it went out of business a couple of years ago

I have a Japanese PDF of card 2CV AZU (van) if you'd like it.
Nowhere near as complex as the one in your picture though.

I also have a DS, an XM Break, a Cloverleaf, and six variations of HYs.
These are all simple one sheet models though. Nothing complex.
I've never come across a card model of any of the TA versions though.

I will follow this build. I may get that model. It would make for a great diorama.

I am glad to watch you build anything, Tim, especially anything Citroen.
