Tamiya 32517 Citroen 11CV (1/48)

Tamiya 32517 Citroen 11CV in 1/48 scale is a precisely reproduced plastic assembly model of one of the most iconic passenger cars of the 20th century. The Citroen 11CV, also known as the “Traction Avant,” was a French vehicle designed in the 1930s, renowned as the world’s first mass-produced front-wheel-drive car with a unibody construction. This car became popular not only among civilians but also among military forces—during World War II, it was widely used by the armies of France and Germany, as well as the Allies, including in Normandy and on the Western Front.

The model presented by Tamiya depicts a vehicle from the World War II period, produced from the 1930s up to the mid-1950s. Its excellent, crisp details reflect the characteristic appearance of the original: aerodynamic bodywork, a slim grille, accurately rendered headlights and wheels, and a realistically reproduced interior. The model comprises high-quality elements made from durable plastic, making it easy to paint and ensuring long-lasting construction.

The kit includes detailed sprues, a clear assembly manual, and decals allowing you to build the military version. No glue or paints are included in the box, enabling users to choose their own colors and achieve the highest level of personalization. This is an ideal choice for those fascinated by military history as well as classic automotive enthusiasts. The model is perfect for World War II diorama collections or as a stand-alone display piece.
