About a month ago I received two 1/24th scale bodies from my friend Nesta. He likes to paint and so all the exterior work was done by him, but he contracted me to build the chassis and paint the interiors.
Both bodies are molded in fiberglass and seemed pretty cleanly done. Not much was need to source for either one of the cars beyond the chassis and interior details.
So first up is the Opel.
Chassis for both cars is heavily derived from the retro scene.
And that is the Opel GT. chassis movement is tilting pans only and the fit is tight since this is a small car for 1/24th scale. Rear wheels roll in ball bearing races.
Gears are 64 pitch of unknown manufacturer. Although the pinion could be an ARP angled. Axles are a tiny bit under 1/8th dia.
