4th vitrine - Euromix and USA brands
 |
| In this shelf models from Holland , France , Romania , etc . Most models shown are cheap toys , but we will find neat Norev models and the Wespe kits from Romania . Starting from the left , a line up of " smashed " models sold under Concentra and Majorette brand names , but we will talk about later . Nearby four Art Toys from Belgium . These simple resin kits are made by Wespe in Romania . Good kits , made of good quality resin , with good body lines and that can be easily assembled . I have three cars , 1938 Kadett 4 doors saloon , red body and brown interior , 1938 Kadett Cabriolimousine , green open body with tan interior and folded softop and one 1938 Kapitan , grey with tan interior . I had also a Super 6 , dark red with tan interior , but as it is broken , missing one rear wheel and rear bumper . I have one unbuilt kit to replace it . taken it off only an handful of bits , body shell , interior , base and wheels , Very well made . I have a 1938 Kadett 4 doors saloon , 1938 Kadett Cabriolimousine , 1938 Kapitan and a Super 6 wich is broken , but I have already another kit to replace it . In the midle an oldtimer , that when I saw it in a fair , I though it was a System Lutzman . Later , after a close and more careful look I saw that it wasn't an Opel . Nearby one Majorette , mint and " blistered " Pontiac . It is in my collection , because they were sold by Opel here in Portugal . This is a good model spoiled by the plastic translucid roof . The last model is from Holland and Edocar is the brand name . The Frontera Sport is the only Opel model sold under this brand name . I think that this particular model is a rebadged Realtoy . Good silver metal body , clear glazing , black plastic base and white interior and fast wheels with or without chromed insert . They were sold alone or in giftpacks always inside cardboard window boxes . |

Pic 3 , the
Polistil Frontera from
Italy . Again , the Realtoy model with another livery . This
time , white body with orange and blue spots , chromed base
including bumpers and orange roof . Sold alone inside cardboard
box or as part of giftsets . Next model came from Poland and is part of a collection , similar to Altaya " Panzer " collection called Wozow Bojowych , at least I think that this is the name . The Blitz truck is made of metal and plastic . Norev is a well known french maker . In the past Norev made excellent plastic and metal 1/43 models . Now they work on 1/18 , 1/43 and 1/64 scales always with good models . Besides those commercial models sold in Opel boxes , the Corsa D OPC can be bought with Opel or Norev boxes . Red instead of blue the Corsa OPC is dold in Norev blue boxes and as for the Opel is an excellent casting , metal body , clear glazing and black plastic base and interior . |

Pic 4 , last picture for this shelf , we can watch the side view of the Norev OPC Corsa and the Art Toys 1938 Kadetts . Behind , the Edocar giftset . First plan a line up of these " smashed type " models , sold under Concentra and Majorette brand name . These are small models that make us think of a 3 dimension cartoon . Plastic body and base , no glazing or interior and small fast wheels . I think I have all Opel and Vauxhall models , Vectra 4 doors and GTC , Speedster and VXR and two Meriva A . |
