Ciroen 2CV - FPW Model 3D-printed

My first car was a really used-up 1958 Citroën 2CV. It made me happy and the poor thing rendered good service considering its age then. I was elated when I saw this "kit" offered online, and had to have it. It will handsomely accompany some French civil airplane model down the lane. 

The process of liberating the parts from their printing cradle was super easy, and because of the non-brittle nature of the resin used and the intelligent location of the pips, nothing broke:

They also offer 3D-printed engines of great detail (1/72nd scale here):

The only thing I would have asked for, is a separate body and chassis/interior, that way the modeler can very comfortable paint the different elements of the interior (seats, wheel, floor, etc) and just slide them into the already painted body. 

As usual, 3D-printing designers and modelers do not communicate efficiently in a way that would certainly expand the market for the former. In this case we have to be grateful that the wheels and roof are separate, but image a real "kit" where tires and hubs, floor, seats, wheel, etc. come separate to allow for easy painting of all elements to be later assembled. 

The parts are washed. The roof is cut before the rear window, to display the interior and as it was my car in spring/summer. A little round stick will resemble the rolled up fabric roof. Toothpicks and a micro drop of white glue are used to hold the wheels, as the axle recess is shallow. Ready now for priming:

Primed an given a coat of the original grey color. Tires still to be painted:

Wheels are ready:
