Porsche Carrera RS TDF 1977 #122 Mouton by Arena
We’ve separated these two from the Jagermeister RSR as there are a number of subtle bodywork differences, all well captured thanks to Arena’s use of very versatile components. As far as decoration is concerned, both cars need a white base colour and on the Tour de France car the gold lower sections will need masking off on the main body and the bumpers painting to match. We have also noticed a small decal omission on this car which should have the official Tour Auto windscreen strip over the roof just above the rear screen as the Almeras team ran the car with the sponsor’s logo across the top of the front screen. Otherwise it looks very good and represents the car with which Mouton finished second overall. Henri Toivonen retired from his home event in his Porsche due to engine failure.

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.
