Chevrolet Corvette 9th Watkins Glen 1973 #48
Hand built available ARE795M
We’ve seen quite a few classic Corvette racers released by Arena and this Greenwood car which finished second in the GT class at Watkins Glen has some very unusual features. During painting the roof must be given a satin finish while the rest of the body is gloss but it is in the small details that really catch the eye with a prototype-style tripod mount for the door mirror and the exposed fuel tank under the rear surrounded by what we guess was a protective cage. These parts are included as fine photo-etch. There are also etched surrounds for the twin fuel fillers and these small parts along with the clearly printed red, white and blue decals will brighten the base black.

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.
