Chevrolet Corvette L88 Daytona 1969 #7
Hand built available ARE816M Alternative version ARE818
These two subjects, sister cars in the same ‘Race of Champions’ event could really have been offered as options in one kit as the main castings all look to be unchanged and the decal sheet is shared with these and other Owens Corning ‘Vettes in the Arena range. The resin parts are all cleanly cast with excellent panel engraving and clean-up will be the removal of some feed tags and a minimal amount of flash. Individual decoration sheets for the instructions show that the winning #7 car of Jerry Thompson had a slightly taller windscreen than Tony De Lorenzo’s #1 machine.

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.
