Alfa Romeo Alfasud Monte 1979 #18 France by Arena
This very pretty AlfaSud was entered on the Monte Carlo Rally by the French importer and Vincent and Calvier won their class, finishing twenty sixth overall. The decal also includes rally plates for the car of Pagani from the following year and we're assuming that the car was physically the same in the absence of photos. The kit parts are typical Arena with a clean resin body, a reasonable level of cabin detail and plenty of very fine etch. The decals include the satin black bonnet and the large white stripes that are on the car, so painting is a straightforward red and blue two tone along the midpoint of the side.

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.
