The Opel GT was and still is considered the European baby Corvette, and the similarities are more than just skin deep. Chevrolet and Opel are both owned by General Motors. They share a number of the same styling cues, such as flip-up headlamps, a non-opening trunk lid, a two-seat design, and design lineage from the Mako Shark II show car. To appeal more to the European market, the Opel had a smaller stature and a more economical four-cylinder engine than its big brother, the C3 Corvette.

For this review, I wanted to look at building the AMT 1/25 scale Hot Wheels Opel GT from the vantage of a new modeler graduating from snap to glue kits. I used Tamiya liquid cement and a spray can of Dupli-Color Ford Medium Blue Metallic paint (No. EBFM03827).
