Thank you. I have KIM 10-50. Yes, it looks slightly like Opel Kadett K38, but hardly they may be confused.

Kadett or real Olympia?

Greetings, Alex

Olympia OL38 (earlier Olympia has very different radiator grill and other details).

thx

From top to bottom: Olympia 1935, Olympia 1938, Kadett 1938.

Look at the hood or bonnet: The Olympia 38's (as well as the Olympia 36) is one piece including the grille, and the Kadett has a short one and a separate front-grille-asembly. Look at that line on the Kadett...
And if You compare the Tim + Struppi (or even the Olympia 51) with these Mosquitch 400 models, You will realize, that the Kadett is much smaller....

Exactly. And it opens like an alligator mouth. Kadett (and its copy Moskvitch) has two side covers, though such details not always visible due to the scale of the models.

Maybe someone would find it useful. Moskvitch-400 (left) vs KIM 10-50.

There are some Moskvitch 400 and Opel Kadett K38 photos to illustrate a well-known fact about the Opel Collection model. The emblems: The signature on the bottom of the Opel Collection model says: Moskvitch-400-420A.
