Porsche Carrera RSR 7th Daytona 1980 #46
Hand built available ARE794M
This colourful Columbian entry at Daytona finished a very creditable seventh overall, following home another very similarly decorated RSR. The kit parts are very familiar now and for the test build shown in the instructions Arena has chosen to model the car as it was at the end of the race with most of the paint worn off the front bumper due to ‘gravel rash’. This could be achieved either with careful sanding back to primer after painting of with skilled airbrush work. Alternatively, you could opt to paint the car all blue as it started the race! The decals include the white bonnet and door panels with the coloured stripe but there is a small error on the instructions at the rear where the European Auto Service and De Narvaez Racing decals are shown fitted the wrong way around. Easily enough fixed.

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.
