Citroen 11CV Staff Car Detail Set E35-229

ET Models 1:35

The Tamiya kit of the Citroen 11CV Staff Car has been out for nearly six years, and its only now that ET Models have released a small, but useful detail set for it. The nicely produced single sheet of relief etched brass contains the prominent grille with the Citroen logo and surround joined at one edge, so that when folded give a nice 3D representation of the real thing. Also included are a pair of mudflaps that are situated behind the front wheels, the front number plate, rear number plate, for which you will have to carefully remove the light off the kits part and glue to the etched part. The kits rear view mirror and windscreen wipers are also replaced with etch.

Conclusion
Whilst small, this set adds enough parts to give a lift to the standard kit, particularly the grille and logo. Simple to use, with no major folds required, so would be of use to all but the most novice of modellers. Highly recommended.

Nice little review

Having just built this for the French Fancy GB those wipers and other small details would be a big improvement, Dave. Not sure about the grille though as 1) I thought the moulded detail was quite finely done anyway and 2) because it's a kerbside build, the open grille would look into an empty engine compartment!

Would have been nice to see a small cover piece of etch (somehow) to eradicate the gap at the rear wheel arch and the seat sides
