Citroen Traction Avant

[herc]

Hey guys, I am new here and as a hobby I make 3D models of vehicles for art and also for games. My current project is a WWII era Citroen Traction Avant. Basicly, I am on the hunt for some image reference of this vehicle that has been captured or just used by German forces during WWII and I figured this would be the best place ask for help.

I have searched these forums and have found about 3 images of this car.
If you have any other images (old and new, Colour or B&W), it would be greatly apreciated if you could share them here.

I believe the model I am after according to this Tamiya kitset box is the Traction Avant 11CV


Thanks,
-Tom

Thanks for the reply Francesco and Bert much apreciated!

These are very nice pictures and will prove usefull, especialy the markings.

I have a question that somebody here might know the answer to:
Why do some German used vehicles have covers over their headlamps?
Is it for protection or a form of camoflage, minimizing the reflective lamp?

Thanks again,

Tom (herc)
