CDW got a reaction from Landlubber Mike in Citroen 2CV by Landlubber Mike - FINISHED - Airfix and Tamiya - 1/24 - PLASTIC
I was car savvy, but the problem with many of these cars was a lack of spare parts availability. Just couldn't buy them locally and it took a LONG wait to order parts from Europe. VW's had a huge part availability network locally. That in my opinion made the VW the superior car.

Around 1966, my sister and her family moved back to the USA after spending four years in France with the USAF. Her husband dearly wanted a Citroen Peugeot. He found a new car dealership in Fayetteville, NC that sold the Citroen Peugeot line and he bought a brand new station wagon. Turned out to be a huge disappointment as it passed everything but the repair garage. I remember it being an attractive design, but it was not reliable at all. Maybe he just got a "lemon". He knew they had a great reputation in France.
PS: After I wrote this, I started thinking more about it and remembered it was a Peugeot he bought, not a Citroen. Sorry, my mistake.

That is why you still see VWs around today and almost no one has even heard of a Renault Douphine!

CDW got a reaction from Tom E in US Brig Niagara by Tom E - Model Shipways - 1:64 Scale
Beautiful model Tom.
I agree, the weather in New Hampshire was gorgeous while we were there last week. Temps in the 40's at night were a refreshing change from the Florida evening temps.

CDW got a reaction from mtaylor in I have had a problem for the last three days.....
This is a pre pandemic phenomenon. Had the same problem months ago and it just went away on it's own. Came back a time or two, then went away since then. Don't really know what happened or why.

CDW reacted to marktiedens in Tiger 1 by marktiedens - FINISHED - Dragon - 1/35 scale
After adding a few decals,I am calling this done. The markings may not be quite right,but overall I am happy with it. Other than a few inaccuracies,I would consider this a very good kit - all the parts fit perfectly & there was not any flash whatsoever to deal with. I still have a couple of Tamiya tanks in the closet (a panther type g & a king tiger),that I may tackle later,but for now it`s back to the ship. Thanks for all the input!
