Tamiya 35301 Citroen Traction 11CV kit overview

The Citroen Traction 11CV was a pioneering pre-war sedan known for its monocoque body, torsion bar suspension and front-wheel drive. Built from 1934 to 1957, it served in multiple roles including use by the French Army, German occupying units and Free French forces, making it a frequent subject for historical modellers.

Building notes for the Traction 11CV

This 1/35 scale kit reproduces the Traction's graceful body lines and fenders with careful attention to detail. The assembly allows the builder to pose the front doors open or closed, so modelmakers can display the detailed interior or keep a clean closed profile. It is well suited to both military dioramas and standalone showcases.

Assembly and display features

The kit balances detail with assembly simplicity, offering a reasonable parts count without sacrificing scale accuracy. Decals are provided for several schemes: two German Army options, one French Army option and a civilian finish. A driver figure is included to add a sense of scale and context to finished displays.

Yes. The kit gives you option parts and mounting points so the front doors can be built in either the open or closed position.
Enamel and acrylic model paints both perform well. For historically accurate tones use muted greens and field greys for military subjects and period civvy colours for the civilian option.
Intermediate beginners can handle this kit with patience. Parts fit is generally good, but careful trimming and test-fitting are advised for cleaner seams and door hinges.
Place the car on cobbled street or muddy track bases to reflect period scenes. A seated driver and subtle weathering on wheel arches add realism without heavy overwork.
