Citroën 2CV AZU-B 250 Van 1/24 scale model kit + glue and paints - HEL-58701

The Heller 58701 Citroën 2CV AZU-B 250 Van Starter Kit is a 1/24 scale plastic model car representing the utility version of the iconic 2CV. With an assembled length of 158 mm and a width of 62 mm, this model allows you to recreate an emblematic French van of the 20th century, whose silhouette is immediately recognizable by its large rear cargo compartment.

This model is offered in a Starter Kit format, designed to bring together the essential elements for building a model: the box includes glue , a brush , and the main paints . It's a practical starting point for assembling a 1/24 scale civilian vehicle or for enriching a collection dedicated to French automobiles, commercial vehicles, and the world of Citroën.

The Citroën 2CV is a front-wheel-drive car equipped, in the actual vehicle, with an air-cooled, four-stroke, two-cylinder boxer engine. The AU, AZU, AK, and AKS utility versions were a common sight on French and European roads from 1951 onwards, before being replaced by the Acadiane in 1978. Called the Fourgonnette by Citroën, this version differs from the sedan from the B-pillar back: the rear section features a cubic cargo area, accessible via two hinged doors.

The 2CV van holds a special place in French automotive history. Designed for light transport and professional use, it combined the mechanical underpinnings of the 2CV with a functional utility body. This design makes it a relevant subject for model car enthusiasts, collectors of popular vehicles, and diorama projects dedicated to France and Europe in the second half of the 20th century.

At 1/24 scale, this Heller model kit allows you to work through the classic stages of assembling a model car kit: preparing the parts, assembling, gluing, painting, and adding finishing touches. The paints included in the Starter Kit allow you to begin the project, while more advanced painting, weathering, or diorama work can personalize the model according to the period or desired civilian use.

The Heller Citroën 2CV AZU-B 250 Van is aimed at modelers looking for a French utility vehicle in 1/24 scale, with a historical, popular subject and easily integrated into a car collection or a street, workshop, business or countryside setting.
