Citroën CX 2000 1975 and 2400 GTI 1977
Comments
Model with metal case, plastic chassis and thermoformed glazing.
Headlights glued a little askew. Metallic paint with too visible specks and poorly applied (roof of the blue model).
The suspensions give the impression of being in high position because of the wheels of much too small a diameter.
See Loco Revue forum.
Weight (to be taken into account if wagon loading): 12 g
