Tamiya 32517 - Compact 1/48 Citroen 11CV Staff Car Overview

The Citroen 11CV Traction Avant was notable for pioneering front-wheel drive in a family sedan, a configuration that changed automotive engineering in the 20th century. Produced from the mid 1930s into the 1950s, it served in multiple roles during the war, appearing across many European theatres.

Build Scale and Proportions

Tamiya has rendered the 11CV in 1/48 scale with attention to its rounded bodywork. Measuring 91.5mm long and 35mm wide, the miniature retains recognizable curves and includes underside detailing for those who study chassis layouts.

Livery and Display Choices

The kit comes with decal sheets covering four marking options so you can configure a civilian car or apply wartime liveries used by French and German forces. It fits neatly into small displays or shelf collections.
