1:35 Citroen Traction Staff Car, assembly kit

This 1:35 Citroen Traction 11CV assembly kit recreates a staff car known for its low, elegant silhouette and distinctive fenders, bringing a classic French sedan into military and civilian WWII displays. At 125 mm long and 48 mm wide, the finished model has a compact footprint that fits naturally into dioramas while still leaving room for body contours, grille detail and cabin features to stand out. The original vehicle was notable for monocoque construction, front-wheel drive and torsion bar suspension, and the kit reflects that character in its detailed underbody and suspension areas. The suspension layout is designed with assembly in mind by keeping the parts count controlled in that section. Open-door construction reveals the interior more fully, while the closed-door option keeps the body lines uninterrupted. The included driver figure adds a seated crew presence that suits command, transport or roadside scenes. Marking choices cover 4 finishes: 2 German Army versions, 1 French Army version and 1 civilian vehicle, so the same build can be placed in very different historical settings. On its own, the Citroen works as a compact display model; alongside other 1:35 subjects, it helps build a fuller street, depot or field headquarters scene. Cement and paints are required separately.
