Intro to the Citroen Traction 11CV Tamiya 35301 kit

The Citroen Traction 11CV earned its reputation as an advanced design thanks to a monocoque body, torsion bar suspension and front-wheel drive. Manufactured from 1934 until 1957, it was used in civilian life and by armed forces throughout its service life, including wartime deployments.

Model highlights and build choices

Tamiya's 1/35 rendition recreates the Traction's flowing bodywork and detailed fenders. The kit gives modelmakers the choice to show open front doors for interior display or close them for a neat exterior. It suits both vignette dioramas and detailed display pieces.

Construction guidance and display options

The parts are arranged for straightforward assembly while keeping scale fidelity. The kit includes markings for two German Army variants, one French Army variant and a civilian option. A driver figure is supplied to help bring finished builds to life.

Yes, the plastic holds washes and drybrushing well. Light chipping around edges and subtle grime in crevices suit the period look without obscuring detail.
Aftermarket photo-etch and resin detail sets exist for this subject, but the kit provides a strong baseline for straight builds or modest upgrades.
Decals reproduce period markings and unit styles. For precise unit insignia check references and consider supplementing with aftermarket decals if needed.
Mask carefully and use metallic paints or foil for bright trim. A clear lacquer layer afterwards helps protect the finish and blend decals.
