Fiat 242 Service Van 84 Martini by Arena
These two kits are based on Mini
Racing components and although the
French firm have offered Martini Lancia
support vehicles in the past, these are
from a later season. Both vans are
well cast and quite simple for the basic
assembly but the larger 242 offers the
better value as the kit includes a fine
photo-etched roof rack and a variety of
tool boxes and spare parts to go on it.
Should you wish to really go to town on
this model there is also the option of an open door transkit (ARETK021). The pair
of vans will be ideal as part of a service diorama with a Lancia 037 rally car.

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.
