Opel Kadett K38 2-door

[Opelmeister]

Dear friends in the hobby,

It's known that Opel Collection includes the Opel Kadett K38 4-door version. I have searched for an Opel Kadett K38 2-door 1:43 model and found nothing. Does one exist at all?

(Did not recognize, that I have it already in my collection )

Thanks again.
I am afraid to sound picky, but I used to think the car from the Tin-Tin series the second link points to is the Opel Olympia OL38, not Opel Kadett K38. There are a few signs of it. Namely, one row of the bonnet louvres (K38 has two of them with four openings each) and the shape of the rear window.
Am I wrong?

Hello again,

think you might not be too wrong

This model is listed as "Kadett 1938", so I thought, it might be useful to point to this version. There's a wild mix of Kadett/Olympia/Moskvich-400 all over the the web and nobody knows exactly which one might be a correct model and which one isn't. Auto-Claus built a 2-door-sedan many years ago and had it in his collection. There are some pics around the web, but I think he will be able to show them here, too.

And the Kadett in the first link is an ugly one...

Greetings, Alex

That's right, I absolutely agree with you. Thanks for the info.

Hello,

I can only contribute with a picture of an Opel Kadett 1937 2-door made in small-series by EMC (Ukraine ).
Quite a nice model and the only 2-door version I know. (A convertible was also offered.)

Thank you!
A very nice model indeed.

Just keep in mind: There are some people, who sell the KIM 10 (based on the English Ford Prefect 1937...) as Opel Kadett 1938!!!
The "Tim and Struppi" is definitlly an Olympia 1938...
And sometimes a 2-door Wehrmacht-Kadett is offered.....
