Citroen II BL

By Faustnik.

Manufacturer: AL.BY Miniatures (Kit #708)

Contents:

• 8 Parts moulded in high quality resin
• Packed in a transparent box.

Evaluation:

An excellent model, depicting one the "mythic" cars from late 30's, as any serious war-movie couldn't be without a "traction avant", either in FFI or Gestapo livery.

As any resin kit, some cleaning of the parts is needed. In my specimen shown there were no air bubbles and no warping of parts is visible. The only problem, was the breaking of part of the rear bumper, easily mended with some super-glue.

Overall:

For the purist some extra-detailing could be done on the interior, and some windows would enrich the model.

On the user end, this is one of those vehicles in use from 1936 till late 60's (I can remember one in my youth), so anything will go, in painting schemes, from French, to German and later in the war with Commonwealth, USA and Free French.

As far as scale is concern, using the available data, the overall dimensions are at 1:72.

Highly Recommended
