Porsche 911SC Monte Carlo 1983 #51 Rubson by Arena
This extremely colourful Monte Carlo rally entrant is certainly something a little different. In order to raise sponsorship the team placed a small ad in French motoring magazine Auto Hebdo asking for contributions of at least 50 Francs in exchange for which the sponsor's name would appear on the car. Three hundred and ten people apparently responded and the red rear end of the car was covered in their names in tiny lettering. We haven't had time (nor have the eyesight) to count all of the decals to make sure none have been missed but the effect is certainly there. The model will need a two tone paint finish for the read and black, the rainbow stripe decal covering the join. Also, before painting a little filling is needed to remove some superfluous vents. Well worth taking your time over as this is a very good looking car, even if it did only finish 51st.

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.
