Rubicon Citroen 11CV car

The Rubicon Citroen 11CV is a 1/56 scale multipart kit. It is supplied in a robust cardboard box.

The vehicle is a staple for film and television programs based in occupied Europe (my most recent sightings have been in the Belgian series 'Salamander' and the Spanish series 'El Ministerio del Tiempo')
The parts are cleanly cast with under frame detail (including the exhaust) and require minimal clean up. I washed them with kitchen scouring cream just because that is how I clean all resin kits.

Unlike many resin kits, it is supplied with a full instruction sheet with some background information and a decal sheet (containing both French and German registrations).
It has two sets of head lamps, the original civilian type and a set of black out style lights for military users. I decided to use the civilian lights.
Marshall Zhukov (Rubicon figure) for scale.
Perry Miniatures Kubelwagen for scale.
The Perry Miniatures Kubelwagen is notably smaller than the Bolt Action one..
