If I have it right Mr Ichiyama has been very busy lately working on various projects for a paper model exhibition , along with other Japanese designers. I don not know if we are going to see all of them but a tasty 2CV is available to download in three colors:

He does some nice work, just wish it was 1/25. That looks like an early 2CV with the corrugated (oh oh, there's that subject again) hood.

I love his work. I have built three mini's so far.

I am feeling a little dumb and need help. Part 18 is huge and yet I cannot figure out where it goes. Also 7 and 8 make tubes which go where?
Thanks.

part 18 is the floor pan, Part 1 attaches to that

Looking at Part one, I see two gray boxes, I believe that parts 7-8 are dampers/shocks and get glued into those places

To me part 18 is the front bumper....
But con't you see the instructionpages. They seem very clear to me ?

I went back to site and this time my browser showed instructions, previous times they did not show up.

It is indeed the front bumper of a Citroen 2CV in the 1950

Mr. Ichiyama's models can be easily scaled, if you have a larger format printer. His A4 pdfs can be scaled to 1/25 by printing at 120%, 1/24 by printing at 125%, or 1/32 at 94% (exact = 93.75%).

Thanks DeadlyTedly

I did that with one of his Bugatti's. Don't have a large format printer so had to do some finagleing. Just lost some crispness, plus should have at least a bit more detail for the larger scale. Need to get it finished...someday.
