Pre-Orders for SentiMETAL's exclusive, limited-edition Opel Kadett Superboss 1/18 scale model open

With work progressing nicely on SentiMETAL's first 1/18 scale model release (BMW 333i), Cars.co.za's lifestyle sub-brand has now announced that the iconic Opel Kadett GSi Superboss will be the second model to be offered.

"Following immense support and interest in the 333i scale model, of which we will receive a prototype soon, it is with great pleasure that we can open pre-orders for the Opel Kadett GSi Superboss model," says Hannes Oosthuizen, SentiMETAL project head.

This particular scale model project is extra special, as the one variant will be an exact 1/18-scale replica of SentiMETAL's own Imola Red Superboss, and featuring the car's no very well-known BMX 749 GP numberplate. "As is the case with the 333i model, we will offer two colour variants, with each limited to only 150 models for worldwide consumption. We have sold a significant number of 333i models to overseas collectors, and expect that the appeal of the Superboss will similarly stretch beyond our borders," says Oosthuizen. "In addition to our Imola Red model, the other variant will be finished in Casablanca White and boast SentiMETAL numberplates. It will also be limited to 150 units."

Development of the high-precision resin scale models will again take place in Germany, with manufacturing ultimately happening in China. The models will come mounted on a display stand inside a clear plastic show box. Unique SentiMETAL box art will be developed for the models and each car will come with an information booklet with a stamped serial number.

"It's quite a detailed process," says Oosthuizen, "because we want the end product to be as representative of the real thing as possible, and so we are really going through the dimensions, colour codes etc. in great detail."

The highly-detailed model features ABS parts and TPR tyres on rolling wheels.
