Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Tour De France 1973 #108 by Arena
Porsche 911 Carrera RSR TDF 1973 #108
Hand built available ARE825M Alternative version ARE826
These two kits offer the same car as it appeared on two consecutive Tour De France events. Claude Ballot-Lena was behind the wheel in 1973 and battling for the lead when forced to retire on the final day with clutch problems. The following year Charlotte Verney and Madeleine Fouquet brought it home in fourteenth place overall and second in the Coupe des Dames. Most of the components are common between the two kits but the separate front bumpers are subtly different. In the Verney car the bumper must be painted white, while on the Ballot-Lena version it appears to need a fiddly three colour paint scheme which could have been negated with a couple of 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.
