Tamiya 1/48 Citroën 11CV Traction Avant

The 1939 civilian version option in the kit.

Brush painted as a "recovering from Covid" project, so the bodywork could be better. It's a nice kit, which fits together well, although it's a shame that there is no driver supplied.

Lovely job Andrew 👍
Now you mention it, drivers do seem a bit scarce in civilian vehicle kits...🤔
Best wishes

I was hoping their might be an O-gauge railway figure or two around, but I couldn't find anything suitable.

Nice work Andrew.

Got one of these in the stash; thinking about turning it into a Vietnamese taxi.
