The car from my childhood, the very first car I rode in and the first one I held the steering wheel (sitting on my father's knees ;o)). This car wasn't only a unique one in the 60's, it still is ! A marvel to drive and ride with, the real goddess of the roads. By the way, the 75ch was the first version but the motor evolved greatly during the 20 years or so (if i'm not mistaken ?) the car was produced evolving from DS 19 to DS 21 (as you guessed, DS in French is pronounced "déesse" and that means "goddess" ;o)). Thx for the review ; I've watched it before acquiring the same kit at the 1:43 scale which is vastly available too.
+MindlessModelWorks You're one of the few who's seen my actual stash. Some of those rare ones will be fun to review. I haven't looked in those boxes myself!
A nice looking kit of a wonderful car. Liquid suspension means that you could raise and lower the front or rear of the car independently which gave it the best ride ever. A very handsome car.
I havnt uploaded those because havnt had time and i just got sick so I'm waiting a little to get my voice back or just decent to be able to understand me when the videos are made cause I know people want to see cars finished
Very cool review Mike. Around here those cars are known as Le sapão, that is a affectionate way to mixture French and Portuguese, and it means "The big frog" as someone back in the day thought the car looked like a frog and the name ended catching. The car itself is cool and silky smooth to drive. The kit looks like typical Heller. I have a couple, and they tend to have some fitment issues, and rough parts, but with some TLC they build quite nicely.
I've built a cab and sedan DS19 Heller . I say the details of moulded part are irritating bad at some parts : rear axles are too weak , engine fits badly and need customizing to fit with front suspension. Boot lid should be higher than the rear wheel covers and not opposite. The gasket framing windscreen is missing also . These are essential details that a French model factory should know. Any I build one now with closed bonnet & doors to catch the beautiful DS design 👌👌
this a cool car never seen this kind of car before can't wait to see this car all built! I want to do a 64 impala lowrider next I gotta upload my cuda and torino and 59 impala videos all finished then when I get the 64 chevy I will do a build along I havnt done a build along in a lil while

Looks like a very nice kit Mike. Really like it when you do these reviews. You show kits that we didn't know existed!! Thanks!

Would like to see a 1:24 scale version.
I know its a couple of month ago you wrote this, but now it is a modelkit you can buy in 1:24 scale fantastisk kit by the way. Just some info.
@@spacemanvw You mean the EBBRO kit ? It's very rare and I presume also expensive compared to Heller kits.
MagnusBrage yes you,re right very expensive BUT it,s all the money worth. Really good kit.
A nicely detailed and unique kit. The interior does look nice as is.

+GYRUSS I see. Thanks for that info!

+Roadhog0822 Thanks Cliff. You too.

+CCCP Digital Studio Thanks for the info on the car. I've never seen one in real life.
Ah - the goddess! These aren't easy to come by even here in Europe! Thanks for sharing!
I built one last year in lockdown. Quite a nice kit but production of some of the smaller parts and chrome bits could have been better.
Thanks for the info. I would hope to build it up into a great looking model.
I bought the kit approx 1987 when it was launched by Heller
That kit looks better then i expected, and i do like the manual also.
The hybcaps where rvs
Good review Mike, thank you for the share.
Looks like a cool build, different but cool, will be watching for updates on this one buddy.....
+Heartbeat Model Shop Eh, it's not on deck for this year or the next really.

Wow that a cool looking car!
good review. I've seen a couple of those and they really are weird cars. especially the steering wheel and dash. engine looks strange too.
Well, kits in general from Heller are quirky and strange compared to Revell kits.
I have one in the stash.
I had the two door convertible,bought it for $100Au
yes the steering wheel really does look like that in the real car
+joe thompson Wow! Cool!
+Toppervision1 Mike, many Citroen came with this awesome futuristic steering wheel :)
Looks like a nicely detailed kit. I think it would be a bit of a challenge for an 8 year old. GBAH
+James Morris (Oldpro50) That's rated for a French 8 year old. I wonder if they're smarter than us
Well they can speak French and I can't.so maybe they are.
James Morris LOL. Ok, that explains it!
Citroens, are seriously ugly cars!!! That said I, would buy/build this kit... I'm not paying $45 for it but I, would pay a cheaper price for it...
+William Van Parys III There are certainly ugly Citroens, but I think this one is pretty.
It looks like a black, 4-door frog lol!!!
Dude, $45 is a bargain for this kit. Look at it. Chrome and rubber tires.
No it is the best looking car of all time like Brigitte Bardot.
