Tamiya 32517 - 1/48 Citroen 11CV Staff Car Reference for Collectors

The Citroen 11CV, commonly called Traction Avant, introduced front-wheel drive to mainstream automotive design and influenced passenger car layouts for decades. Built from 1934 to 1957, the sedan saw widespread use during World War II with French, Free French and German units, serving across varied European fronts.

Scale Detail and Build Notes

Tamiya's 1/48 rendition of the Citroen 11CV reproduces the car's classic lines at a small scale. At 91.5mm long and 35mm wide, the kit captures the silhouette and includes fine chassis detail that rewards careful assembly and painting.

Finish and Markings

The kit supplies decals for four distinct markings so builders can choose civilian or military finishes from French and German services. That variation makes the model adaptable for display cases or small dioramas.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Length: 91.5mm

  • Material: Plastic
  • Decals: Includes options for French & German versions
Yes. The kit is small-scale but straightforward to assemble; it is suitable for newcomers who have basic modelling tools, while experienced builders can add extra detail and weathering.
Absolutely. The scale and supplied markings make it easy to place the Citroen 11CV alongside other 1/48 or scaled-down display pieces to represent wartime scenes.
Use standard plastic model cement for assembly and enamel or acrylic hobby paints for finishing. Thin coats and fine brushes help preserve the small-scale detail.
