Citroën Acadiane 1978 Brekina / SAI

At first glance, the model looks good, in a realistic colour. The windscreen and — this is worth noting — the windows of the van section are flush, but not the doors’… The rearview mirrors have to be fitted by the customer, and are not very discreet, being unfortunately chromed.

The headlights and bumpers are fitted, the rear one being well rendered. The wheels are perfectly to scale, which is rare.

As with the Dyane, I regret the visible presence of the rear axle, which does not exist on the real vehicle.

What’s more, there’s a rather crude error that can be seen up close: the ribs on the side panels of the van section, which are actually recessed, are here treated in relief, just like on the old 2CV!

The car can be dismantled by removing the rear bumper. Photo of the dismantled model.
