Citroen DS 19 Convertible 1962

French Elegance in Vivid Red

This convertible brings the unmistakable spirit of 1960s French automotive design to your collection. Its flowing bodywork, open cabin and gently tapering rear make the legendary DS 19 silhouette instantly recognisable. Vivid red bodywork meets silver-coloured trim, creating the glamorous presence of a classic made for summer roads. Thanks to the generous scale, the signature wings, headlights and bumpers are shaped with far more depth than a small car model could offer. The finished build feels like a genuine collector’s automobile, evoking coastal drives, daring design and effortless French style. With 2,275 pieces, it also gives you a substantial project designed for long, focused building sessions.

A carefully layered combination of curves, slopes and smooth surfaces recreates the demanding contours of the historic body. Inside, you will find sculpted seats, a detailed dashboard with printed accents and a steering wheel neatly integrated into the open cockpit. Working steering turns the front wheels, while opening doors and body panels let you explore more than the exterior shape. These functions reveal the cabin and mechanical areas without distracting from the model’s clean display lines. The printed instructions guide you through the chassis, steering mechanism and multi-layered bodywork step by step.

At 1:12 scale, the car reaches approximately 39.5 centimetres in length and commands real attention on a shelf or in a display cabinet. Its permanently open roof keeps the detailed interior visible from above. Printed emblems, instruments and number plates add lasting definition, while large wheels and chrome-effect details complete the period look. This is a rewarding choice for experienced builders, classic-car enthusiasts and collectors of European design icons. Displayed alongside other large-scale vehicles, the red DS becomes a confident centrepiece.
