Fiat Ritmo 75 Gr2 Messina 1981 Mirri by Arena
It’s colourful subjects like this from Arena that gives your reviewer welcome relief from the hordes of red cars that are around. We don’t know how the car did on the Messina rally, but being a Ritmo 75 it will only have been a 1300cc engine, so a class win is the best we could realistically hope for. The main kit body is very cleanly cast with the bumpers as separate pieces, which will simplify painting a little. The darker blue wavy stripes are all on the decals, as are the lighter blue panels for the roof and bonnet, though you will have to match to this colour and paint the lower sides and bumpers. There is plenty of fine etch for window frames and finishing touches and the shape looks pretty good.

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.
