This 1/24 resin kit by Arena Modelli covers two versions of the rally car as run in the San Remo and Elba rallys. The decals provided cover the 6th place finisher in San Remo (car #20) and the 4th place finisher (car #6) at Elba. Sadly the decals don't include Car #3 at Elba, driven to a DNF by the great Walter Röhl.
I've built one other of their 1/24 kits (most are 1/43), the Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR that ran in various hillclimbs in the early '70s. The kits are basic but well detailed and go together well. The kits are basic but well detailed and go together well. Instructions tend to be a couple of photocopied sheets of photos with some comments in Italian, so a bit skimpy. Glass consists of a sheet of 0.003" clear styrene, which is OK given how flat the windshield and rear window are, and the added presence of stiff photoetched window surrounds. A bonus, as I am looking for a break from complexity, is the lack of engine detail.
Stay tuned!
