About the Citroen DS 19 Cabriolet Red Sun Star 1:18
TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS 19 Cabriolet in Red reproduces the open-top variant of Citroen's landmark sedan, a body style built in far fewer numbers than the standard four-door saloon. Diecast construction carries the DS's smooth curves with genuine metal weight and a folded soft-top profile that suits the open body well.
Most DS replicas on the market reproduce the standard saloon, which makes a Cabriolet version worth a closer look for anyone who already owns the more common body style.
Diecast Curves on a Rarer DS Body Style
The Cabriolet's roofline removal changes the DS's proportions noticeably from the saloon, shortening the visual mass toward the front and putting more emphasis on the car's long, low doors. Sun Star's zinc alloy body handles those smooth, aerodynamic panels well, since the DS was designed with unusually few hard creases for its era, and a diecast tool has less trouble holding soft curves consistent than sharp angles. Red paint plays up the sweep of the front fenders into the doors, and the folded top sits correctly behind the rear seats rather than looking like an afterthought bolted onto a saloon shape. Doors open on functional hinges, giving a look into a simplified cabin appropriate to this construction tier.
A Body Style Built in Limited Numbers Originally
Citroen's DS Cabriolet was produced by coachbuilder Henri Chapron using the DS platform, and the open-top conversion was never built in anything close to the volume of the standard saloon, making original examples genuinely scarce today. A 1:18 diecast replica gives collectors access to that rarer body style without needing to chase an increasingly expensive real example, and it pairs naturally with a standard DS saloon on the same shelf to show the range Citroen's most famous design covered, from everyday transport to open-air coachbuilt elegance.
