Opel Kadett GT/E White Kit Type C Long Headlight

The most customisable Opel Kadett GT/E arrives in 1/24 scale with BRM's competition mechanics

The BRM-101C is the Type C version with elongated headlight of the legendary Kadett GT/E, one of the most beloved street and rally sports cars of the 70s. As a White Kit, the body comes in unpainted resin or plastic, ready for the modeller or club racer to bring it to life with their own decoration. On this classic base, BRM mounts a complete reference mechanics in 1/24 scale.

Features and highlights

• 1/24 scale, the predominant standard in club competition and major rally slot categories.
• Type C body with elongated headlight: reproduces the unmistakable lines of the competition Kadett GT/E, with the characteristic front of this variant.
• White Kit: undecorated body, ready for priming, painting, and decals. Compatible with reference paints such as Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido.
• High-strength BRM metal chassis, a benchmark in rigidity and durability in 1/24 scale.
• Machined aluminium wheels for precise fitting and optimal concentricity.
• Ball bearings on the axles for smooth rotation and no loss of speed.
• Calibrated axles that ensure correct alignment from the first assembly.

Scale and level of detail

The 1/24 scale from BRM is appreciated by both collectors and competitors. The Kadett GT/E Type C body faithfully reproduces the profile of the original model, including the elongated headlight solution that distinguishes this version from its predecessors. Presented unpainted, the final finish level entirely depends on the work of the enthusiast, making each unit a unique piece.

On-track behaviour

The BRM mechanics are designed for competition. The metal chassis helps maintain a low centre of gravity, resulting in greater stability in corners and predictable behaviour on both technical circuits and rally slot stages. The combination of ball bearings and aluminium wheels minimises friction, allowing all the motor's power to be efficiently transmitted to the track.

Ideal for…

• Modellers who want to build and decorate a completely customised Kadett GT/E.
• Club racers competing in 1/24 categories who prefer to prepare their own car from scratch.
• Collectors looking for a unique piece with their own livery or the decoration of a historic rally.
• Static modelling enthusiasts who wish to utilise slot mechanics as the basis for a functional replica.

Considerations

As a White Kit, the product requires assembly and decoration by the buyer. Decals and paint are not included. For optimal results, we recommend applying a primer coat before painting and using specific modelling paints. The kit includes all the necessary mechanical components for the car to be functional on track once assembled and decorated.
