Volvo 142 6th RAC 1974 #6 Walfridsson by Arena
Per-Inge Walfridsson was associated with a large variety of Volvos during the 1970s and 80s and on the 1974 RAC rally he finished sixth overall. The main bodyshell and other larger parts are all cleanly cast in resin and there has clearly been plenty of thought put in with items such as the bumpers cast separately to simplify painting. The car may be a very plain looking machine but there’s plenty of detail modelling to do with photo-etch extending all the way down to the switch stalks on the steering column, though the instructions could be a lot more helpful for placement of some of these smaller pieces.

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.
