Got the Opel complete, in spite of a few last minute screw-ups that would be obvious if I had kept the photos showing them.
It seems this was quite the little rally car in the slower classes, as race records show lots of them at any given event.
This one was driven to 6th overall, first in class at the San Remo rally by Federico Ormezzano and Renato Meiohas. The great Walter Röhrl DNFed in a similar car.
The GM influence is clear; the roofline could have come from a downsized '72 Chevelle.
Also shown here is my one other kit by Arena Modelli, this one including engine detail. Both kits are decent, but note that the company mainly makes 1/43 kits.
What's next? Hard to say! Stay tuned.
