Porsche 911SC 1st Tour De Corse 1980 Esso 1:24 by Arena
Porsche 911SC 1st TDC 1980 Esso 1:24
We’ve seen a great many rally Porsche 911s from Arena over the years in 1:43 and now they have moved into 1:24 with a very impressive set of parts. The vast majority of the components are moulded in resin, with white metal for the roll cage, machined aluminium wheel rims and, of course, plenty of photo-etch. The resin parts are mostly attached with fairly substantial feed tags, so these will need careful trimming off but there are no bubbles that we can see anywhere. There’s plenty of detail to get stuck into with a full engine and well equipped cockpit area. The instructions are several pages of detailed photos and these include information for some engine plumbing and wiring although this is not included, so take a look through the T2M range on our website for these parts. Both cars modelled were Almeras prepared, Therier winning on Corsica in the Esso backed machine and Walter Rohrl retiring his Eminence car in Sanremo.

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.
