BRM Opel Kadett GT/E Rally -
woodcote - 10th-Sep-20

We first took a look at the lovely BRM Kadett GT/E when the first two models were announced last November (see
here). The Kadett fits nicely into BRM's 1/24 scale Group 2 'Mini-Saloon' range - big scale cars that run side-by-side on all 1/32 scale plastic sectional track systems. The first two releases were models of circuit racing cars - one from 1976 and the other a classic racer from 2018. The latest two Kadetts - due later this month - are models of rally cars, one that competed back in 1979 and one a competitor in modern-day classic rallies...

Like the recent TTS Escort rally releases, the co-driver comes separate in the box and can be easily fitted if pace notes are required. Or they can be raced against the other BRM / TTS cars in circuit trim. Plenty of spares are available, some specific to the Kadetts and some shared by the Mini Saloons range...

More BRM news has just dropped in my inbox from the UK distributor, so expect some exclusives over the weekend. Think Alfa, Abarth and BMW...
