About the Citroen ZX Kitcar #15 J. Puras / C. Del Barrio Rally Catalunya Costa Brava 1997 Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin Citroen ZX Kitcar recreates J. Puras and C. Del Barrio's car #15 from the 1997 Rally Catalunya Costa Brava. The sealed one-piece body reproduces the two-wheel-drive Kitcar category's flared bodywork. A distinctive subject from a short-lived but competitive WRC class.

The Kitcar category gave two-wheel-drive rally cars a genuine route back to competitiveness against four-wheel-drive rivals, and Citroen's ZX Kitcar programme, with Jesus Puras among its leading drivers, represented one of the category's most polished efforts through the mid-1990s.

Resin Casting of a Two-Wheel-Drive Rally Special

Otto casts this ZX as a single sealed resin body, and the Kitcar category's aggressive flared arches, deep front splitter and wide rear wing all involve sharp transitions that resin handles more crisply than a die-cast process typically manages. Because the panels are fixed, all of the model's detail sits on the exterior: the arch flares sit correctly proportioned against wide rally tyres, and the Puras and Del Barrio livery is applied with clean, well-registered sponsor graphics. Resin's affinity for compound curves suits the ZX's rounded hatchback roofline, and the model holds that shape with genuine fidelity rather than flattening it. The finish carries even paint depth beneath the dense sponsor decoration typical of a well-backed mid-1990s rally programme.

A Distinctive Category for a Rally Shelf

This ZX offers genuine variety within a WRC Classic collection, its two-wheel-drive Kitcar specification standing apart from the more commonly modelled four-wheel-drive rally cars of the same broader era. At 1:18 the hatchback's compact proportions and aggressive aero addenda give it real shelf presence without an oversized footprint, and Puras's involvement adds a specific point of driver interest for anyone tracing Spanish rallying talent through the 1990s. Resin models of this relatively niche category remain a rewarding area to collect, offering a genuinely different technical story to the four-wheel-drive machinery that dominates most rally-themed displays.
