Mercedes L460 Service 1980 Almeras Conversion Set by Arena
The Porsche rally cars of the Almeras brothers are perennial favourites among model makers and Arena are one of a number of makers who have produced many of their cars. This van is one of the vehicles used to support the rally cars. We're not entirely sure that the L460 is the correct description of the Mercedes van, we think it should be L408, and there are a few die-casts made of the latter from the likes of Schuco and Premium Classixxs. The base model will need stripping and painting white before the addition of the clearly printed decals and the smart photo-etched roof rack.

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.
