Gestapo Arrest! WS91 (1 Viewer)

I just received this today. Great set and especially the resistance fighter figure.

Is the car a Citron? For those of you that have this set, question: does the car seem a bit small compared to the figures?

I really don't have any point of reference for how this size proportion should be.

I saw them at a show and decided not to buy them, as they seemed small and not detailed as usual K/C pieces. The trucks, on the other hand, looked great....Michael

The car is a Citroën traction avant. The company builted it from 1934 to 1956.

I may be wrong but the proportions seem OK.

I attached a photo, hope that it will help.

Pierre,

Thanks for the info. The car is cool and the figures are great, especially the civilian. Wouldn't it be nice if Andy produced ....

We'll we won't go there it probably wouldn't be commercially viable.

I just got the WS092 car (Tour of Inspection) and the car does seem very small. It just may seem that way because of the larger size of the tanks.

I have had the pleasure of sitting in one of these. They are not as large as you might think. Remember that many of the European "common guy" cars were quite a bit smaller than American cars of the same period.

I have some pics from a gather in the catskills. Let me see if I can find them...

Gid-
I'm still thinking this one might be 1/32. Even the figures look a bit smaller. On the upside, the new motorcycles look really great, but I still can't figure out why they cost more than the new AK Mark II tank with four figures.

 

[desk11desk12]

Yeah Gid,

You have a point, after all one of the previous pictures posted on this thread showed a guy stepping out and up from the car. The car seems to setting very low to the ground. I still like car very much and will use it together with KC figures and my 1/32.

Versatility, LOL.

You have to remember that the Citroen is an automobile designed for Europeans streets, which are narrower and smaller than American ones, which tend to be more wide open. As a result, the cars developed were in response to the different urban circumstances. I lived a good many years in Europe and smallish cars was the norm. To me, this rendition looks in keeping with the actual size of the real Citroens.

I spent a good amount of time in Southern France and I gotta say that the Citroen DS series cars were probably larger than they needed to be.

A good many of the streets in the village follow the ancient Roman street plans. These streets are tiny. Some couldn't have been more than 8 - 9 feet across.

Still, though, the Citroen Tractions packed a lot of style into those cars for the common guy. They are really spartan on the inside - no frills but the outer styling is unrivaled in elegance and utilitarianism.
