| description | I needed a competitor for my 1:24 Alfa Romeo, which fits in scale and period and found a Resin-modelkit on ebay, 1:24 in scale so i decided to go for this.
Too bad the Resin kits (bs-design) quality isn't as good as familar Tamiya quality is, so it turned out not that well, because of the parts accuracy of fit, but it's ok, for going wild on the racetrack.
Painting scheme design by my little daughter, which fits the early 70ies.
The Opel Commodore was the better version of the Opel Rekord. Always fitted with a 6 Zylinder motor and much chrome.
Those were the great days, when Opel built really large cars.
The Commodore is fitted to MR-015 chassis, which wheelbase was enlarged to 110mm.
I used small rims and large tires from a 1:24 kit to get the 'Ballon tires' look from this period. (The Opel originally only got 13' rims)
Hope you like it anyway- comments welcome

That looks pretty good for 'not turned out that well', if you ask me.
Another masterpiece, love the pics, she has an eye for colours, wheels tyres are perfect
Very nice! I love the livery: a compliment to your daughter, she's a natural born talent !
Oh man, this is a nice looking car. I remember my cousin had a '69 coupe when I was young, actually in the same blue shade as yours. Nice work miga. Nice to see your work again.
I absolutely love it!
Another excellent 1:24th RC build!! Keep them coming!
Nice choice, looks great!
Great! Almost looks like a Cortina ran off with a Monaro!!
