Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Tour de France 1974 #133
Hand built available - ARE660M
At least five Porsche RSRs started the Tour de France carrying sponsorship from Christine Laure, we know this because we can see them all on the grid for the race at Nogaro! Surprise of the race, according to Maurice Louche’s excellent Tour de France history, was Jacques Henry who was running an impressive third overall from very early on until gearbox trouble struck. He eventually fought back to be classified fourth overall at the finish in his bright orange machine. Arena’s RSR kit parts are now very familiar to us and once a few feed tags are cleaned up they will go together well. The separate bumpers and spoiler can be fitted before painting as it’s a single colour main finish, the contrasting door panels are supplied as decals.

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.
