Porsche 911RS Tour De France 1973 #102 Laure/Gelin by Arena
Porsche 911RS TDF 1973 #102 Laure
Guy Frequelin held the overall lead of the Tour de France in this vivid green and black Porsche, but going into to the fifth day of the nine day event he was forced to retire. Photos from the event show that Arena’s decals replicate the livery of the car well and that the shape is good. Most of the black panels are included on the decal sheet but it will be necessary to paint the back of the engine cover and spoiler, but as this is a separate casting that should be quite simple. There’s plenty of etch, as we’d expect, and it’s certainly a subject that stands out.

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.
