Porsche 911RSR 6th Tour De France 1974 #128 Defense Mondiale by Arena
Porsche 911 RSR 6th Tour de France 1974
At first glance this is a pretty conventional RSR but closer inspection shows a slightly unusual engine cover/spoiler arrangement which in profile is similar to the turbo cars but without needing height for the intercoolers is actually a conventional wing. This is cast separately to the body, as are the bumpers and the latter will need to be painted gold to match the decals that go on the sides of the car. It’s all well cast as usual, the decals are clearly printed and there is a wealth of photo-etch for fine detailing. Your reviewer is no Porsche fan, but with all these interesting variants being made by Arena, is getting very tempted.

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.
