Hi Rob,
Nice job on the Acadiane, probably looks better than new now. :) Glad you enjoyed the models I sent in this package. The batmobile note goes with the funky green hotwheels model - that's just what popped into my head when I first saw it at the flea market.
Thanks again Ken 👍. I really appreciate it mate 😎
@@MatchboxGarage That's exactly what I thought as well. Rob, Google pictures of the 1940s Batmobile. And I believe the model would be pronounced "a-KAY-dee-enne." Stay safe!
With the Phantom Corsair "Batmobile" - Something that would be unique, challenging and possibly a fantastic finished product...
With the retro styling, but details on it, especially in the grill, that give it a look that hints at the Joel Schumacher Batmobiles. The colors of Val Kilmers Batmobile in the grill like the George Klooney Batmobile. Maybe with accents down the side or at the rear. While it doesn't have a get out the back, the early Batmobile designs never did. That only happened after the 1960s George Barris design for the TV show.
Just my humble opinion.
Anyway... 100% paint removal, and that new paint job is fantastic.
Nicely done, Rob.
That Old School Batmobile, there was a larger Corgi release from the comic era. I think a small dorsal batwing from the back end, but DEFINITELY black with red trimmings
@@andrewphippsphillips1455 What I had in mind when I saw it:
Black paint down the sides...
Dark Grey on the hood and top all the way to the back, with lots of metal flake sparkle. Maybe some lines, not sure if black or red would be more appropriate.
Large black bat emblem on the hood and small grey bat emblems on the doors.
Not sure if I'd make changes to the actual physical structure, such as adding fins, since someone might want to restore to original down the road.
100% paint removal 👍why would anyone skip straight to the end? The fun is in watching the transformation surely.
💯 % paint removal. Gotta be honest I’m not a Majorette fan or owner but this restoration Rob knocked it out of the park. Fantastic job. Absolutely love it.
100% paint removal, and 100% admiration for the finished van. Looks like something expensive from Norev, now. Nice one. I'm sure I had a red one, with a different rear, with the coffee manufacturer 'Café Hag' on the sides. Old Majorette models are some of the very best you can get. I love 'em.
The aircraft at 21:55, is a Fokker D VII, from the first world war. Some of them had mad colour schemes - their pilots were allowed to paint them how they wanted. Allied airmen of the Royal Flying Corps, and Royal Naval Air Service (they merged in 1918, to become the Royal Air Force), saw these groups of brightly coloured aircraft, and dubbed them 'Flying Circuses'.
some model kit of Richthofen's machine had stickers on it that went on the upper wing, a writing to be read from "behind" reading "Kennsch Mi Noch?" (southwest german dialect for "do you recognize me?") maybe gto them, it was a kind of circus, a deadly one for sure.
With a 100% paint removal, your restoration of that Citroen turned out beautiful!!! Detailing, paint and wheels are perfect!!! 👍👍👍👍
Definitely 100% paint removal.😎👍
Phantom Corsair was a real car! It was a 1938 concept vehicle. The original was a gloss black with thick white walls.
It's one of those quirky Citroen vans we see on the road from time to time.What a transformation, I love everything you've done to this van Rob. Wow, that colour, It looks really classy now too. Oh yeh, yipee, 100% paint removal!
I agree. One of your best restorations.
Acadia is what Canada was called before it was called when the French were in charge. Acadiane = French-Canadian person, Cajun in Louisiana U.S.A.. ( Ah-cade-e-n ). It kinda all makes since with Citroen being a French Company. Oh by the why, What a great job mate. I do love the simple castings and this one is no exception. Smooth paint, proper decals and the wheels are perfecto. Thanks again for all the fun Rob !
I completely agree Rob, another awesome restoration
wow honestly one of your best jobs the color the extras everything turned out amazing! Good job rob
Hey rob I always appreciate your videos and I love sticking to the end and I also appreciate that you Joe what you started with on the pictures for the promotion and not spoiling it with showing the completed vehicle before I even watched the video
That Citroën is a very cool casting. I was very surprised at the 100% paint removal because of the texture of the casting. I can't imagine skipping through the video, like you talked about, I love seeing each step that goes into the project. Sometimes I get ideas for my own projects from seeing how you fix or make something for the castings. I like the yellow you chose for the Citroën, I think it suits the car.
💯 % paint removal achieved... What a beauty 😍... 100/100 for today's restoration... Loved it
No skipping ahead here. Thoroughly enjoy the vids. Thx for sharing your hard work. Beautiful job on this one. I agree, one of my favorite castings too. 👍👍
What a neat casting. I really like how the metallic yellow and details turned out. Plus, 100% paint removal 👍🏼. Hooray!
Lovely bit of work on this truck, the yellow fits it perfectly. Nicely done, sir.
100%! First time I’ve ever met one of your videos with no videos! I love the yellow. Everyone goes black or red or something dark now, I love the bright color for a change. First time I’ve commented after a year or so of following. Love your videos every time. Thanks brother for the entertainment!
With no views rather I’m alittle drunk right now forgive me but still glad all the same!
🍺
100% paint removal! Always a pleasure watching your videos. Don't know why but I've always liked Citrons.
Yes can 100% see why you've put that in your top 10. Lovely job Rob.
Mission accomplished! 100% paint removal.

Really cool job, I loved the look of the polished roof. But it looks much better the way you did it.
Hi Rob just want to thank you for pointing out the Molotov chrome pen to me ,I'm restoring a 1975 racer bike ,the chrome was good but had a few pits and digs in it .I don't really have the money to have it rechromed so was looking for a temp fix until I could afford it .the chrome pen was the answer ,great produced .cheers mate

💯 paint removal! Brilliant restoration plus better than new! Had doughts about the yellow to start with as I thought it would be better light blue but in the end amazing !!!
looks fantastic, one of my favourite castings too.
also great 100% paint removal haha
Great video Rob, congrats on the 100% paint removal, fantastic unboxing, beautiful job on the mail van, wheels are a perfect choice, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻☮️, Stay safe, we're experiencing phase 2 / 1 here in the US, some people just didn't listen, hopefully you guys are OK.
There were two ladies who worked in my dad's village post office in France. One of them seemed to delight in making herself as unhelpful as possible, the other would do anything for you. La Poste still used these vans till quite recently there, in the back woods. You used to see unsprayed versions around as you suggested too, I think the local baker had a very pale blue version. Beautiful restoration/makeover job.
And an unboxing - "its just like Christmas", as someone else says…
Hi Rob,what a video,you turned that Citroen Acadiane around looks totally different, good choice of wheels.the details are so cool,nice selection of other models.
Sweet mate, cool model 👍
Love the colour
Nice looking little delivery truck, looks great now.
Fantastic Restoration Citroen very Nice 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
An EXCELLENT customization job!!.. All ready to hit the streets of Paris for local deliveries!!... Keep up the great work Bud!!
100% paint removal thumbs up right back at ya 👍 very beautifully done came out amazing
One of my favorites!
For the midnight magic car, Matchbox would use different names for the same casting depending on the color sometimes. I noticed this a while back and I thought it was interesting that the changed the name of the casting.
Just some additional information for a few of the castings:
The red ambulance that is mashed is a Chevrolet/GMC from the 1970's. I have a hand full of them, but I don't believe I have seen a red one before.
The eight-wheel tanker is a Leyland. The orange flat bed truck is a Leyland as well.
it looks great
wuaoo I look great the wheels were a success to combine with the bodywork, very good restoration I congratulate you rob.
I’d love to see more Majorettes coming. Great video.
II all I can say is wow again and I hope to see more and more those cars
Great job on this one. The casting is really good. After 100% paint removal the choice of a yellow coat of paint was perfect. The in boxing was cool too. Would love to see an airplane rest some time. Cheers
100% paint removal 👍👍.
Great job on the citroen van matey, I've got one of them as well, great little models.
Great selection of vehicles as well, love the Mercedes coach.
Keep up the good work 👍👍
Can't wait to see how they all turn out. Farmall is a farm equipment company in USA. Their signature color is red. John Deere uses green.
Excelent job ,these are a great truck
These things are lovely. The van version of the Dyane. Itself the upmarket 2cv.
Nice work!
Very Nice !! 100 percent paint removal
Wow ,the Citroën Arcadiane is very nice. Awesome job :-). From the unboxing cars are the Scania truck ,the Mercedes bus and the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am my favorites .Wonderful castings :-).
Looking good
Another hundred percenter!!!! Great job
