I just received my 2007 Solido catalog.

There are a few offerings that may be of interest to several of you out there. If you like 1:18 scale vintage French automobiles, then check it out.

1938 Citroen Traction 11B Cabriolet
1938 Citroen Traction 11B Berline Convertible
1938 Citroen Traction 11B Coupe

Cheers

PS
Occasionally these will pop up on E-bay......but from France! Well worth it!

could put an mg34 in one of those Citroens and have the occupants shoot up some germans at a sidewalk cafe, a la The Great Escape.

And for those of us who remember those old black Citroens in VN.

The roads were clogged with them in VN civvie hands. Makes a good dio idea, of a few Citroens passing a convoy of M-113's and M-48's.

heh.. reminds me of some Combat! episodes I've watched recently. Lots of french resistance dashing about whooping butt in various trucks in that series.

The SAS jeep and covered Willys Jeep look the same to me as the ones that have been out for a while?

Great find!

The Willy's Jeep and SAS version are nothing new, they have been out since 2004 I believe. I have both versions. They are nice and fully detailed.

about the Willys, I prefer the Gate version (see pics here : viewtopic.php?t=5331&highlight=jeep ).
