Tamiya 32517 - 1/48 Citroen 11CV Staff Car Historical Brief

The Citroen 11CV Traction Avant was a technical milestone with its front-wheel drive setup and unibody styling. Manufactured through the 1930s into the 1950s, it served in various roles during the Second World War across multiple fronts.

Historical Context and Model Focus

Tamiya's 1/48 scale kit recreates the vehicle's flowing lines and practical form. Measuring 91.5mm in length and 35mm across, the miniature highlights the car's silhouette and undercarriage details for display or study.

Presentation and Variant Choices

The kit comes with decals covering four marking options so you can assemble a civilian example or choose wartime liveries used by French and German forces. It is well matched to small-scale collections and museum-style displays.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Length: 91.5mm
  • Width: 35mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Decals: Includes options for French & German versions
No advanced skills are required. The kit is designed for straightforward assembly, but careful painting and patience will improve the finished look.
At 1/48 scale it pairs well with other small figures and vehicles or can be used as a focal piece in a scaled vignette.
Apply a clear gloss coat before decal placement to reduce silvering, then seal with a matt or satin varnish to protect and integrate the markings.
