Traction Avant FFI

[Rob59]

I have fun out of building little diorama's in the backyard or outdoors somewhere (like I did with both my Ostfront Tigers in the snow, remember?), and make pics, imagining it was a real scene.....
Our new home has quite a large garden and I intend making a small tankyard somewhere.
As I build the VW from the Feldgendarmerie, I had so much fun out of it, that I started looking for another small, cheap project, and i came on this one:

a 1944 Citroen Traction Avan from the FFI.
FFI stands for Forces Francaises de l'interieur, a French Resistance group at the end of the war.

Outstanding weathering! Very good eye for realism.

I wanted to make it a captured car by the German Fallschirmjager, so some bullit holes were needed...
