Tamiya 1/48 Military - 1/48 Citroën Traction Avant 11CV Staff Car - 32517

The Tamiya 1/48 Citroën Traction Avant 11CV Staff Car (32517) reproduces the iconic French front-wheel-drive saloon — widely requisitioned by the Wehrmacht after the fall of France in 1940 — in the compact 1/48 scale. The Traction Avant's revolutionary front-wheel drive and independent suspension made it far superior to contemporary German staff cars in road-holding and reliability, and it became a favourite of German officers and the Gestapo throughout the Occupation. Its elegant, distinctive silhouette makes it immediately recognisable.

An elegant and atmospheric subject for 1/48 scale dioramas set in Occupied Europe.
