Porsche 911SC Sears Point 1981 #62 by Arena
Hand built available ARE815M
Bill Koll ran his colourful Kegel Enterprises Porsche in two seasons of IMSA GTU racing and the high point came at Sears Point with a second placed finish. The bodywork on this car is much modified with quite angular extensions to the wheel arches all around. Some of the edges here look a little soft, particularly on the rear arches, but may be better once painted. The decals are clearly printed and have been printed in relatively small panels to ease fitting over the very complex shape. The headlights were covered for this race and the instructions show these covers painted white, whereas the stripes should cover them, so some careful painting will be needed here. There is a photo showing the covers on the real car included. Not the simplest of builds or decorations, but a great looking subject.

About Arena
Accurate, well detailed resin kits with white metal ancillaries and excellent photo-etched details. Instructions sometimes slightly vague but normally adequate. Castings on some subjects can be a little rough but more recent releases have all been excellent. Due to the amount of etch, they can be quite fiddly to build but in experienced hands make excellent miniatures. Hand built models also available to order. Made in Italy.
