Chevrolet Corvette IMSA 1978 #18 JLP Racing by Arena
Hand built also available ARE888MLS Laguna Seca, ARE888MLR Lime Rock & ARE888MB Brainerd
Wearing the familiar pale blue and yellow of JLP Racing, this outrageous tube-frame silhouette Greenwood Corvette was one of several cars driven by John Paul during the 1978 IMSA campaign. It wasn't hugely successful, the only significant result being a second place at Lime Rock, one of the options in this kit. We don;t care about the success though, this is worth having in collections on looks alone! In typical Arena style, the kits is based around a cleanly cast resin body and chassis unit, with plenty of fine etched detailing and clearly printed decals. Hand built versions are also available, as are other similar Greenwood machines in other team colours.

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.
