Type

Citroën AMI 6 estate and Pompiers de Corse (Corsica fire brigade) estate.

Comments

Model with metal case, plastic chassis and thermoformed glazing.

Tyres are of correct dimensions. No mirrors. The front is correct. The rear view is ruined by the axle passage that doesn’t exist in reality and also by the rear track much too narrow (due to the exaggerated thickness of the cast body).

Fixation of the body by a rivet at the front and by a tenon serving as licence plate at the rear.

See Loco Revue forum.

Weight (to be taken into account if wagon loading): 11 g.

Modifications

Rear axle removed, replaced with a “suspension” with independent wheels. Photo.
