About the Opel RAK 2 1928 BoS Models 1:18

TL;DR: BoS Models' 1:18 diecast Opel RAK 2 recreates the 1928 rocket-powered car that set a land speed record under Fritz von Opel. A pre-war curiosity built for collectors who value genuinely unusual subjects over familiar road-going classics.

Rocket propulsion and automobiles rarely mixed successfully, but for a few remarkable months in 1928, Opel made it work well enough to set a record.

A Genuinely Unusual Subject in Diecast Form

The RAK 2's low, flat body and array of rocket units mounted along its flanks give it a silhouette unlike anything else in a typical vintage collection, and this replica leans into that oddity rather than smoothing it into something more conventional. At 1:18, the rocket housings and stabilizing fins along the tail read as distinct, individually shaped elements rather than a single molded block, which matters given how much of the car's visual identity comes from those fittings rather than from bodywork curves. The diecast construction gives the piece real weight, appropriate for a subject built around explosive power rather than delicate styling.

Fritz von Opel and the Rocket Racing Era

Fritz von Opel's rocket-car experiments in the late 1920s were a genuine, if brief, chapter of automotive and speed-record history, part of a broader period fascination with rocket propulsion that also touched aviation and rail. The RAK 2 achieved a documented speed record for a rocket-powered car in 1928, a claim to fame that no conventional pre-war vehicle can match. For a collection built around unusual or pioneering vehicles rather than mainstream classics, this model is a genuine conversation piece, and it holds that role well.
